Brief description

The transfer of scientific knowledge and methods into practice is the subject of this module. Independent scientific work is to be learned within the framework of the student research project and entry into professional life is to be facilitated.

Teaching and learning outcomes

  1. Independent processing of a practical project in individual or group work as a subtask within a working group
  2. Preparation of a project report on a scientific basis

Overall workload

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

Recommended prior knowledge

Knowledge in the breadth of the subject area studied.

Knowledge Broadening

Students work on technical and/or scientific tasks in a methodically structured manner within a given time frame. They place the results in an application-related context

Knowledge deepening

Students familiarize themselves with a new practical task within a limited period of time. They deepen their knowledge independently in a specific area on a scientific basis, depending on the task.

Knowledge Understanding

Students evaluate existing approaches and concepts on the basis of a specific scientific or technical task. They assess their applicability to the specific task and evaluate them. They synthesize their own results and verify them in relation to the task.

Application and Transfer

Students create and use tools and methods to support their work. They independently acquire new knowledge in relation to the task and apply it to solve the task. They develop subject-specific skills, abilities and techniques and apply these to solve practical professional tasks independently.

Academic Innovation

Students critically analyze existing solutions and their own results and present them in an overall context. They design task-related research questions and use them to select their methods.

Communication and Cooperation

Students present the results achieved in a scientific form in working groups. They demonstrate the solutions they have achieved and discuss them with other students and teachers. They cooperate within project groups and beyond.
