Prerequisites

Additional information about prerequisites
None. But the student is assumed to have willingness to cross engineering disciplines. The course suits well for students coming from different backgrounds: automation, electrical, mechanical and environmental engineering, biotechnology or materials science.

Correspondence of content

Additional information

The course is taught bi-annually. The next realization is in 2009-2010.
