Suitable for exchange students (learning agreement)
Workload:
Workload of student for successfully completing the course. Each ECTS credit represents 30 working hours. These are the combined effort of face-to-face time, post-processing the subject of the lecture, exercises and preparation for the exam.

The total workload is distributed on the semester (01.04.-30.09. during the summer term, 01.10.-31.03. during the winter term).
30 class hours (= 22.5 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 60 hours (equivalent to 2 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 37.5 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
None.
Recommended as prerequisite for:
Module coordinator:
Prof. Dr.-Ing. John Heppe
Lecturer: Prof. Dr.-Ing. John Heppe

Learning outcomes:
The tasks of an engineer can be roughly divided into technical and non-technical tasks. Students will become familair with non-technical challenges in the engineering profession through examples. The course will be practice and training-oriented, include a business simulation game, and depending on the task assigned, could also be held in English.
After successfully completing this module, students will be able to:
-        identify possible challenges outside the technical area
-        develop solutions on their own initiative
-        understand the different interests of various project members.
