Exercise: In the exercise, the material of a subject area is deepened and explained using examples and practised independently by the students.

Seminars and project seminars: In seminars and project seminars, a sub-area of a subject area or several subjects is jointly developed, expanded and deepened by students and lecturers.

Practicals: Serve to deepen the knowledge imparted through experiments.

Examinations take the form of written or oral examinations, rarely also in the context of seminars.

Examinations as part of seminars: These are achieved by submitting a written presentation, the oral seminar presentation and the defence of the presentation - after regular, active participation in the seminar sessions.

You determine your basic module through the choice of an area of specialization. You have to pass lectures with a fixed total extent of 12 college credits. The following 5 in-depth courses can be chosen in the in-depth studies:

Energy engineering, process engineering, plastics engineering, mechatronics, product development and manufacturing engineering.

The in-depth studies can be also studied with vocational episodes. Every basic module consists of three mandatory events with an extent of 4 college credits. Concerning events can be found in the module manual.

In an optional compulsory module the student has to choose courses with a determined overall scope of 12 college credits.
