Language of Teaching / Examination:English
Duration:1 semester
Frequency of Offer: Every semester
Credits: 12
Learning Outcome:

In the practical research training programme, students can apply and deepen the theoretical concepts, methods and strategies they have learnt during their studies when working on a complex scientific problem in the field of materials chemistry. Using the infrastructure of external research institutions, students also acquire knowledge and skills in new methods and technologies. They become familiar with organisational forms of research networks. At the end of the module, students will have consolidated skills in dealing with scientific information sources, in data collection, documentation and evaluation as well as in summarising, presenting and discussing scientific results.

Contents:

- Reviewing and analysing scientific information sources including primary literature

-  Processing a scientific task using experimental and/or theoretical methods

-  Collecting, documenting and analysing data

-  Preparation of the written report

-  Colloquium with oral presentation and discussion

Part of the Study Programme:
  • no assignment
Remarks:

The research internship is usually completed at a research institution outside the BTU or a company with its own research department under the supervision of a university lecturer involved in the curriculum. The choice of research institution is up to the students. In reasonable exceptional cases, the internship can also be completed in a working group within the BTU.
