Students work on group projects focusing on a specific topic either introduced in the lectures or related to material from the lectures. Implementation of these concepts in smart-card technology is also addressed including opportunities for student experimentation. At the end of the course, each student group gives a presentation of their project.
Evaluation is based on the group project and presentation.
