    Overview
    Projects 5 and 6 are crucial for the transition into professional life. Project 6 represents the journeyman's piece and serves as a figurehead when looking for a job. Here, students can demonstrate the skills they have acquired and their creativity under realistic conditions in the context of a practical problem. Depending on the problem, the project contains aspects from the areas of hardware or software development, simulation, or calculation. Contents:
    • Familiarisation with the topic
    • Preparation of the project clarification incl. specifications and project plan
    • Implementation phase (technical work, demonstrating an engineering- and results-oriented approach)
    • Project management (implementation of milestones, communication with the client and the supervisor, project controlling)
    • Documentation of the project results (report, poster and website)
    • Poster exhibition and defence
    The project is carried out in parallel to lessons, with the exception of the project week as well as the lesson-free period. The project can be carried out individually or in teams of two, depending on the topic. As a rule, project 5 forms the basis for a continuation as a project 6.
    Learning objectives
    • The students are able to familiarise themselves with a new subject and to close gaps in their knowledge independently. They know the state of the art and can map it to the project goals.
    • They can plan, implement, and successfully complete projects alone or in pairs.
    • They critically reflect on project progress and react appropriately to deviations.
    • They communicate proactively, efficiently and competently with clients, supervisors and other specialists.
    • They are able to prepare the project documentation according to the guidelines and present the project results convincingly.
