Learning outcomes:
Practical Training Module IV seminar:
Students are aware of their own resources and can mobilize them. They can better assess their fellow human beings and treat them individually, encouraging and challenging them to achieve better results and progress in their work. Students learn to define their own goals and set priorities. They can structure their time effectively and use effective methods to allocate their time to the important things.
 
 
Practice-oriented project:
Students will improve their methodological skills  by applying the knowledge they have acquired thus far from various subject areas to a practical project of moderate complexity in the field of mechanical engineering, with a focus on manufacturing technology, mechatronics, or production management. They will demonstrate that they are capable of developing or improving solutions to technical problems by applying scientific methods with little guidance. Students will be proficient in analyzing problems and choosing appropriate methods to solve problems. Students we be able to collect, evaluate, and interpret relevant information. They will be able to work in a team, take responsibility, defend the results of their practical project with arguments, and exchange ideas with engineers and other scientists.
