Abstract :
Effective collaboration between engineers from different branches of engineering, such as computer and electronics engineering is a skill that requires training. Most engineers, do to some degree master this skill. Doing it effectively and as an integral part of ones work is not easy. In order to better prepare engineering students for their professional career, a module in Smart Systems is designed. This modules offers, in addition to the technical learning objectives, also to give the students training in effective collaboration with their peers from other disciplines.
