FOREWORD

Engineering is the main pillar sustaining civilized life on earth. Engineers invent the tools that enable us to move faster and produce more than we ever could with our bare hands. To keep our economies going we need engineers to maintain and to innovate our machine park. Therefore it is of utmost importance to continuously train new generations of engineers. The engineering profession is rooted in practice and in practice engineers have always been working in teams on projects. Utilising projects in the formation of young engineers makes a lot of sense and not surprisingly it is applied in one or another variety in many places
