A diploma thesis can be undertaken provided that the candidate has adequate background, i.e. a good mark in the subjects Machine Tools or Manufacturing Systems, a good programming and, generally, InformationTechnology background.
Many of the theses are based on practical problems faced by industrial companies and some or incorporated into research projects.
