The “Design Project” (10 ECTS) is a mandatory course to be carried out in the spring semester (M2). The organization of this project is led by the SIE Section which suggests a series of topics proposed by external partners or in collaboration with research laboratories affiliated to SIE. Registration for this course is mandatory and is to be done on IS-Academia.
