Project
On completion of the module, students should be able to
apply and integrate the technical, social and methodological
competencies in carrying out a project related to their field of
study.
Life Skills Modules
Life skills in broad terms are the foundation skills and personal
qualities that an individual can transfer from one job setting to
another to manage and adapt to changes in technology and
work environments.
Electives (Course Specific)
