Descrição:

This course is aimed to engage doctoral students in complex industrial issues, through the analysis of challenges and opportunities for industrial R&D. Students are expected to develop a research residence in close industrial cooperation. The residence should be planned to facilitate and promote the student´s PhD work leading to his/her thesis. This will consider, among other potential issues, understanding the industrial dynamics in which his/her research is integrated, collecting qualitative and/or quantitative field data, identifying and understanding relevant engineering requirements, testing and validating results or solutions.
