Student feedback from spring 2025: “The course Designing Automated Transport Systems was a valuable introduction to automated transport. For me, the group project combining theory and practice, along with guest lectures providing practical implementations and real-world insights, were the most interesting parts. The course motivated me to learn more so that I decided to take other ENACT courses to broaden my knowledge.”
Student feedback from spring 2026: “Collaborative activities, such as group work and discussions, enhanced my learning. Sharing ideas and perspectives with peers encouraged critical thinking and exposed me to alternative approaches to problem-solving.”
