Description

Version: 5.0 start 01 August 2022
 

Short description

 In their project thesis, students perform their individual analyses of a topic which is centred on the topic of the study specialisation they have chosen for their mechanical engineering studies, working in close collaboration with partners from industry and the supervising lecturer.

Learning objectives (competencies)
Objectives Competences Taxonomy levels
By working on a practice-related problem from the field of general mechanical engineering, if possible in close collaboration with an industry partner, students demonstrate their ability to think and act according to engineering principles. F, M, SO, SE K5
Students are able to understand the task and plan the working process independently. F, M K2
Students are able to access independently relevant technical and scientific knowledge from the literature and specialist publications. F, M K4
In dealing with the problem, they are able to apply the knowledge and skills they have acquired during their studies and to develop new solutions based on this knowledge and their new findings from the literature. F, M, SO, SE K5
As a rule, students work in pairs and communicate with the client and their supervisor. SO, SE K4
They are able to document the results of their study in a technical report and to present these results orally. M, SO, SE K5

Module contents

 Students work independently on a small-scale, practice-related technical/scientific problem under the supervision of a lecturer. The project can originate from an Institute’s R&D unit or directly from an industry partner.
 
In the course of the project, they are expected to analyse the problem and to structure and plan the working process according to a schedule. Depending on the nature of the project, they may have to conduct experiments and/or construct models and carry out simulations. The results they achieve from these steps allow them to solve the problem.

While working on their project, students make regular reports on their progress and discuss the next steps. They document the course of the project and the results in the form of a written report and submit a summary of the report in German. They also give an oral presentation of their results.
