Final poster presentation for "Selected Topics in Communication Networks"

We use PBL (Problem Based Learning) exercises to nurture students' critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork skills. The fundamentals are covered in the Communication Networks lecture and classical PBL exercises.

The final six weeks of the semester are dedicated to an exciting challenge—"Selected Topics in Communication Networks". Given the fast-paced evolution of communication networks, we explore fresh topics and design new PBLs each year to reflect cutting-edge trends and real-world applications. This winter semester (2024/25), 48 students participated in four fascinating PBLs — reliable communication for smart factories, space applications, UAV mobility, and indoor localization. Each team of three students delved into a research paper of their choice and presenting their findings. 

The highlight of this journey was the final poster presentation session, where students showcased their work and received valuable feedback from invited experts. Seeing their enthusiasm, confidence, and ability to explain complex concepts was truly inspiring! Moments like these remind us why we teach—to witness growth, curiosity, and the spark of innovation in our students.
