Honours Projects
Each BGCE students will finish an additional research project throughout his BGCE program. This honours project guarantees a strong orientation to research within the program. Students work, invidiually or in teams, in cooperation with industry and/or with an academic research group, on cutting-edge topics in Computational Engineering. This website provides an overview of these activities.
