Students projects

Introduction

There are currently three types of projects proposed to students in Electrical Engineering at EPFL:

• The Bachelor Semester Project (6 ECTS credits).
• The Master Semester Project (11 ECTS credits).
• The Master Thesis (30 ECTS credits).

General and further information about them can be found on the STI website. Please find below the different projects proposed by the Distributed Electrical Systems Laboratory and the Power Systems Group in both industry and academia.
