IHA-1956 Master's Seminar for Hydraulics and Automation, 1 cr |
Additional information
IHA-1956 is a mandatory seminar course for every Master's student doing their thesis under the supervision of the Department of Intelligent Hydraulics and Automation (IHA). During the seminar sessions, Master's students will gather to exchange knowledge and experiences, and to receive tips and guidance from each other and the course personnel. The course should be enrolled on immediately after starting the assigned Master's work. The timeless course implementation is suitable for both the Finnish and international students.
The enrolment will be made by sending an e-mail to the course coordinator (Juho-Pekka Karjalainen/ IHA). If possible, the seminar sessions will be organized once every month during the regular semesters. More accurate schedules will be informed to every enrolled student.
