Learning Objectives
  • Identify typical work processes (construction and environment)
  • Communicate and cooperate within a team
  • Develop and apply project-related specialist knowledge
  • Develop solutions to open questions
  • Evaluate and decide on alternatives
  • Dealing with extracurricular restrictions
  • Present and defend results in an appropriate form

General Module Procedure
  • At the kick-off event, these are briefly presented by the teaching staff, followed by a preference selection and group allocation by the PEK working group. In the subsequent project kick-off, the general information as well as the tasks and objectives of the individual assigned projects are discussed in detail.
  • The projects are carried out in self-managed small groups; the project status is presented and discussed in milestone meetings (so-called interim presentations). Consultation hours are held weekly, during which the supervisors are available to answer questions.
