Recommended Prerequisites:None
Mandatory Prerequisites:None
Forms of Teaching and Proportion:
  • Seminar / 4 Hours per Week per Semester
  • Self organised studies / 120 Hours
Teaching Materials and Literature:will be presented at the beginning of the module
Module Examination:Continuous Assessment (MCA)
Assessment Mode for Module Examination:
  •  Presentation of a literature search, ca. 5 min (25%)
  •  Writing a scientific text in the form of a publication, 2-3 pages (25%)
  •  Presentation of a scientific talk, 20 minutes (25%)
  •  Drafting a project outline (25%)

The partial performances are weighted equally for the calculation of the overall grade.
Evaluation of Module Examination:Performance Verification – graded
Limited Number of Participants:None
Part of the Study Programme:
  • Master (research-oriented) / Elektrotechnik / PO 2014
  • Master (research-oriented) / Elektrotechnik / PO 2019
  • Master (research-oriented) / Elektrotechnik / PO 2023
  • Abschluss im Ausland / Informatik / keine PO
  • Master (research-oriented) / Wirtschaftsingenieurwesen / PO 2019
Remarks:The module is aimed at students who work independently on a research project, e.g. in the context of an assistance activity or a graduation thesis.

In the seminar „Student Group Work“ the students prepare together the presentations in the advanced seminar and impart to each other the technical bases as well as scientific approaches and results of their own research activity.
