The block course on "Project Management" should be completed before the start of the project.
Once the project topic has been defined, the project management documents for this project are created and submitted in parallel with the content of the project.

Independent and self-organized work in a team or group, the ability to investigate complex problems systematically and analytically and to develop solutions to problems are basic elements of engineering work in companies. The project should offer students the opportunity to apply the knowledge they have acquired independently to specific problems.

The various tasks of the projects in research, the development of processes and products as well as the planning and realization of plants in the manufacturing and process industry are worked on by teams using project management methods. In order to prepare students for a role in a project, they are familiarized with the basic skills of project management prior to the project. The essential elements are explained and then applied in the project. Students in the "Elektrotechnik im Praxisverbund" ?????? program are supposed to work on the projects in cooperating companies.

Project management:

1. Introduction
2. Project initialization (problem analysis, objectives)
3. Project definition (project organization, process models)
4. Project planning (structure, process, time, capacities and resources, risks, quality, costs)
5. Project implementation with control/monitoring
6. Project completion

Project:

1. Analysis of the task and definition of objectives
2. Planning according to project management
3. Research and information procurement
4. Analysis of the data
5. Development of possible solution concepts
6. Technical and economic evaluation of selected solutions
7. Presentation of the results

The total workload for the module is 300 hours (see also "ECTS credit points and grading").

In the "Project Management" module, students learn the basics of project management in a block course and create a project plan for the specialist project.

For the project, students are given a specific task to solve a project problem using engineering methods. The progress of the project is presented at regular intervals and discussed with the examiners.

• Project Report, written

• Project Report, written and Presentation

• The graded examination includes the technical documentation in the form of a written project report.
• The ungraded examination consists of a written project report on the project management of the project (e.g. with the project structure planning, the schedule and a project status report) as well as a presentation of the project as part of a project fair.

Graded examination performance:

• Project report (written): approx. 15 - 30 pages per project group member

Ungraded examination performance:

• Project report (written): approx. 12 - 15 pages
• Presentation: approx. 15 minutes

Sufficient knowledge in the areas of mathematical, scientific and engineering fundamentals as well as advanced knowledge in the respective subject area.

Students know the basic concepts and phases of project management and the associated methods and tools.

Students familiarize themselves with a new project-specific task at an academic level and independently deepen their knowledge in a specific area.

They can organize tasks with the help of project management methods and tools.

Students interpret and question project results with regard to their plausibility and classify them in terms of their technical and practical relevance.

Students apply standard and advanced procedures and methods from the entire breadth of their previous studies to work on the task. They use or generate data, evaluate it and derive solutions for the task.

Students adapt the methods and tools of project management according to the requirements of their project and organize project processing accordingly.

The students develop their own procedures or ideas from the various procedures, skills, techniques and materials in order to solve the given task.

Students develop and discuss solutions in the group. They communicate acquired knowledge and facts to a specialist audience and can discuss and critically scrutinize solution concepts with superiors.

Students communicate and present the status of a project in the form of project status reports.

Students develop an awareness of the value of scientific work as the basis of their engineering activities. They justify their own professional actions with theoretical and methodological knowledge and take responsibility for the results of their work.
