Syllabus
Description
The second year of the Master in Robotics and Advanced Construction will be dedicated to the development of students’ Individual Thesis Projects, which will be supervised by a Thesis Advisor. In order to support the thesis project development and strengthen the second year students professional and academic profiles, several seminars and workshops will be scheduled.
Students will be asked to submit prior to the academic year’s beginning a final Thesis Book (both in physical and digital copies) and complete the Final Submission of the Individual Thesis, which will be composed of a written and illustrated portfolio, scientific paper, models and prototypes to be shown in the IAAC closing exhibition. The Final Exhibition is a mandatory part of the year, and it will take place after the Final Presentations, involving the second year students as active actors in the exhibition’s organisation and set up.

SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS FOR BESPOKE ACOUSTIC DIFFUSER DESIGN A considerable amount of construction and wood waste is generated each year, mostly landfilled or burned for energy, contributing to severe environmental effects. The management of this waste is a significant challenge as it is often not suitable for secondary use. In this context, the circular economy concept … Read more
