The application of scientific methods and findings to solve complex problems is one of the key qualifications of engineers. To this end, a connection between science and practice is to be established on the basis of a specific project. Students apply a research or professional practice-oriented approach and project structure. As a rule, they carry out the scientific practice project in a training center (e.g. research institution, company).
