Guest speakers from various institutions are frequently invited thanks to the location of our university. Many of these events took place as a series of seminars beyond individual speaker talks.

Every week, a guest outside the university is invited within the course EE 598 Graduate Seminar‘s scope, which is compulsory for students.
Courses
Many of our part-time lecturers are in senior management positions in leading national or international companies in the IT sector.
