Abstract
Industry requires ever more of the candidates coming out of design educations in universities. They expect them to be able to perform productively in a development project from day one. This requires new and additional knowledge and competence building in the study programs. As an experiment, our university has introduced a comprehensive, multi-professional design-build-test project as an alternative to the traditional master project. The experiment has run over 2 years, and the results so far are reported.
