In order to reach the goal, the team with 2 or 3 students ideally consists of Embedded Systems students with different background (EE, CSC), and the team chooses the specific project to do. Students contact a research group themselves for the availability of a project. While the topics of MDDP are typical for the research of the chair hosting it, interest in and focus on the chair's work is worthwhile.
The pre-knowledge of the team members together should be well suited to that specific project. Indeed, MDDP is Co-operative Design. However, all the design cycles (specification, design, realization, and testing/validation) must be addressed. MDDP is strictly planned, with a project plan and presentation after 1/3rd of the time. Also a final report and presentation must be presented.
