2. have developed research skills and problem-solving abilities to a high level,
3. be able to solve independently the typical problems of a large project,
4. have developed/reinforced their theoretical, analytical, computational and/or experimental skills through application,
5. be very competent at writing an engineering research paper,
6. have enhanced their oral presentation skills.
