Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this course, students will be able to solve a task given to them using analytical procedures and thereby expand their problem-solving competence.
Student creativity will be encouraged.
 
Students will be able to work in a team in order to complete a task successfully.
They will be able to manage time and resources (project management).
 
They will be able to use communication techniques to ensure successful communication in projects.  
Students will be familiar with various reading strategies and will be able to work independently on a topic using English technical texts and videos.
 
 
They will improve and deepen the presentation knowledge and skills acquired in the _Technical English for Mechanical Engineers and Professional Presentations_ modules and be able to apply them to a final presentation of their project results in English. The main focus will be an academically educated audience, which, however, is not exclusively composed of experts on the respective topic.
Students will also be able to write an English abstract on the documentation to be prepared in German.

Module content:
- Production-oriented design, planning and implementation of a task (example product from an industrial application)
- Documentation and presentation of results in English
 
A team of students, supported by targeted coaching, will work on an interdisciplinary task and compile the results in the form of a technical documentation. They will also present their results. The team itself will be responsible for delegating tasks and organization.
 
They will prepare a design and cost report based on the "Formula Student" approach.
The will defend/present their results in a presentation by a specific date.
 
The task will be supplemented by a "real case": After evaluating the submitted cost report, students will receive a real-case scenario. In this scenario, they must make suggestions for a more cost-efficient solution for a selected component of the product.
 
The content will be closely related to the technical project. Content:
-         Strategies for acquiring the technical vocabulary relevant to the respective projects
-         Text work with technical texts and videos relevant to the respective projects
-         Repetition of the structure and language of English presentations in order to present project results
-         Describing diagrams, tables, images, numbers, cause and effect correlations, and trends
-         Presentation slides
-         Dealing with questions and body language
-         Preparing and practicing English presentations in order to present project results
-         Introduction to abstracts (structure, style, idioms, writing strategies)
-         Writing abstracts

Teaching methods/Media:
Teaching methods/Media:
PJ=Project work _ Workshop character
 
The learning goals will be achieved through integrated training of the four basic skills (listening comprehension, reading comprehension, speaking and writing) supported by the use of multimedia.
Group work and working in pairs, as well as peer review will play an important role. During the workshop-like phases, students will have the opportunity to practice their presentations and receive appropriate feedback.
 
Target group-specific teaching/learning materials (print, audio, video), as well as multimedia CALL and e&mLearning materials will be used.
