Learning outcomes:
Practical Training Module 2 seminar
This seminar is part of the scientific support provided by the director of studies and serves here to reflect in particular on the skills acquired and experiences gained in the practical phase in ethical, social, ecological and societal terms.
 
Practical Phase (= practical professional activities):
The practical phase (Practical Training Module 2) in block 5B (5th semester) is part of the module, which consists of experiment protocols, homework, practical module 1 (with the seminar “Professional Presentations”), a practical project (with project work and the seminar “Project Management”), a practical assignment (with the seminar “Scientific Work”), Practical Module 2 and the bachelor thesis, which together prepare students for dealing with larger problems and tasks independently using scientific methods, including the associated discussion.
Students will strengthen their instrumental skills by applying the knowledge acquired so far in the various subject areas to a practical project of medium complexity in the field of 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 problem situations and choosing appropriate methods to solve problems. This module aims at building systemic competence by gathering, evaluating and interpreting relevant information in the context of the practical project. Communicative skills are strengthened by the fact that students must work in a team within their respective company  and take responsibility for the project they did there, and by the fact that they must defend the results of their practical project in a discussion and exchange ideas with engineers and other scientists.

Module content:
 
Practical Training Module 2 seminar:
• Presentation of the results of the practical project worked on in the practical stage 5B, taking into account scientific-technical, ethical, social and ecological aspects, including a discussion
• Reflection on the experiences gained during the practical stage (social, possibly intercultural)
 
Practical Phase (= practical professional activities):
In Block 5B (4th semester), students will work on a specific operational problem or project, which takes a total of 165 hours to complete. They will solve or further develop this project according to scientific methods with limited guidance from a suitably qualified in-house supervisor within 60 working days. The topic of the project is proposed by the company and examined, approved and assigned by the Head of Studies. The poster presentation in the Practical Module 2 seminar serves as documented proof of the practical work.
