Is running every winter semester in cooperation with the University of Helsinki.

1 semester

The students come from Germany as well as Finland.

Today's research and developing projects are marked by technical Interdisciplinary and are handled increasingly in international teams, which are often localised decentralised. Additional to the technical knowledge, high demands exist for the inter cultural abilities of all partners, as well as the ability to use all kinds of modern communication technologies. The present module provides competence to all these branches.

Start meeting, explanation of the task. The task is extracted mainly from running research and developing projects, for example, spectral investigations to the determination of substances, the fusion of different optical and non-optical sensors to a sensor system, computer aided measured data acquisition and processing, interface programming, wire-engaged and wireless measured data transfer, calculation of measuring results from measuring signals on the basis of difficult dependings, for example, with the help of neural nets.

Splitting of the topic, creation of the team. Use of all communication possibilities for solving the task (email, Skype etc.). Project coordination and widening of the technical knowledge. Final meeting (presentation of the results).

The total workload for the module is 150 hours (see also "ECTS credit points and grading").

For the start meeting, all german students and teachers are flying to Helsinki and for the final meeting all finish students and teacher are flying to Osnabrueck.

Fundamentals of measurement and instrumentation as well as electrical measurement and instrumentation. Basics of mathematics and physics. Or / and fundamentals of computer science. Basics of informatics

1. Learn intercultural and social skills to work on a common task in an international team
2. learn communication skills to solve a task in a geographically dispersed team

- increasing of the technical knowledge

- Learn of inter cultural and social competence, for working in an international team to solve a cooperative tasks

- Learning of communicative competence for the solution of a task in a decentralised localised team

- The students are able to present the results of her work as international usual.

The students are learnig scientific as well as social aspects.

The module contais lectures (e.g. per ZOOM) as well as a practical project.

The project task for the students is an innovation in development and / or science.

The students are learning to work in a international and decentralized team and to realise the communication.

The students are learning in a scientific and professional way to act in a globalised world.
