- Brief description
In this module, students work in project groups on practical technical and scientific tasks in the field of electrical engineering. The topics may also combine subject-specific aspects with interdisciplinary aspects (e.g., sustainability). In addition to content-related work, methodological aspects from the areas of project organization, teamwork, independent research, as well as documentation and presentation of work results are part of the module. The module enables students to plan a project with a task corresponding to the content of the study program in a division of labor, to implement and test it in a team. Students learn about the challenges of working in a group and experience how to resolve differences collectively. By working on the project, they gain a deeper professional insight into the chosen subject area. The tasks of the projects are offered by different instructors. At the beginning of the course, students can choose from the topics offered.

Modules of the 1st-3rd semester (EPV: 1st-6th semester)
- Knowledge Broadening
The students apply the knowledge acquired throughout their academic journey. They are capable of identifying the knowledge bases relevant to the assigned project task and independently expanding them as needed. The students can communicate work results adequately in both written and oral forms (project report, presentation). The students are familiar with key aspects of project management. They are capable of appropriately planning challenging tasks and adjusting the planning according to the project's progress. They can define project goals and coordinate these with the project's client.
- Knowledge deepening
The students possess in-depth knowledge in the subject area of the electrical engineering task and can transfer and apply this knowledge to other tasks. They are familiar with basic aspects of project management and can apply them in subject-specific projects.
- Knowledge Understanding
The students are capable of evaluating the competencies acquired during their studies in a professional-like project context and applying them appropriately. They are able to select suitable methods and approaches that are appropriate for the problem at hand and apply these to solve the task.
- Application and Transfer
The students can research solution approaches and apply the findings to the task at hand. They can analyze a problem, divide it into sub-aspects, and design the resulting interfaces so that the identified sub-problems can be worked on in a sub-team.
- Academic Innovation
The students independently verify hypotheses formulated to solve the tasks using suitable subject-specific methods.
- Communication and Cooperation
The students can present the project's topic, as well as discuss problems and solution approaches appropriately within the project group. They are able to demonstrate and present the findings and results they have developed.
The students are capable of working in heterogeneous teams, recognizing the cultural, social, or professional diversity of other team members, and using this diversity effectively to achieve team results.
