For engineers, this requires knowledge and experience in project management and in different project activities.
After selecting the area of concentration for their studies, emphasis is placed on special, subject-specific professional and methodological competences as well as on documentation. In project 5, topics from the chosen field of study are dealt with on an individual basis or in pairs. Clients are either external customers or internal research institutes.
Consolidation of specialist and methodological competences: Development of new skills and methods from the chosen area, implementation of specific requirements for the documentation.
Consolidation of self competences: Project management including all project activities alone or in groups of two.
Consolidation of social competences: Cooperation and communication in all project phases with internal and external stakeholders.
