Master Project Part 1 - Introduction
The students have learned how to methodically structure and solve a task, preferably from the chosen major field of study, under the guidance of a lecturer.

Integrated management methods
Students are familiar with the complex demands placed on managers in companies,such as project and process management, risk management, quality management.
In particular, the students have an overview of the most important management methods and techniques. Objective parameters for the evaluation of company goals are familiar the leadership and moderation of groups were learned by the studentsin practice-oriented situationsand acquire both professional and social skills .

Master's Project Part 2 - Project Work
Students have the ability to quickly acquire new knowledge methodically and systematically on their own. The final presentation promotes communication skills

Master Project Part 1 - Introduction

• The topics from the course areas of the Master's degree program in Mechanical Engineering are handed out by lecturers for processing
• The scope of the work is adapted to the available workload

Integrated management methods

• Fundamentals of project and process management
• Manage processesand improve with methods and techniques such as:

 

• • Balance Score Card,TQM Tools
  • PMI/ PMBook
  • Transfer certificate according to IPMA
  • Project phases according to DIN-ISO 21500 and DIN 69901
  • Scrum and agile project management
  • 80/20 principle, Pareto analysis, ABC(D) analysis
  • Leadership behavior, conducting and leading discussions, moderating work groups, motivation and conflict management, social competence
  • Transaction analysis, brainstorming, creative and metaplan techniques

Master's project part 2 - Project work

• Work on the topics by the students in a working group if possible
• In a written assignment, the design and implementation of, for example, the required calculations and/or measurements are described.e.g. the required calculations and/or measurements and results are documented
in a written paper.
• Final presentation of the work results

Seminar courses/internship, laboratory work and/or term paper with appropriate support from a supervising professor

Higher Engineering Mechanics 
Students are familiar with the mathematical and physical relationships underlying higher technical mechanics and are able to model complex systems independently. They can calculate complex mechanical models of statics and dynamics using the appropriate methods. 

Machine dynamics 
The students have mastered the analytical, numerical and experimental methods for determining and designing the dynamic behavior of machines and vehicles. Students will be able to assess three-dimensional stress states of components using simple means. 

Higher Engineering Mechanics 

• Stresses and deformations of disc, plate and shell structures with  

          edge interference effects

Machine dynamics: 

• Modeling damped, elastic multibody systems and continua 
• analytical and numerical determination of natural frequencies, eigenmodes and response behavior to excitation mechanisms, 
• Active and passive vibration damping methods, 
• Vibration measurement technology on machines and vehicles

Seminar events

After successfully completing the module, students are able to:

• apply lean methods and tools in accordance with VDI 2870-1 and implement measures to reduce waste in direct and indirect areas
• interpret and critically scrutinize the most important key production figures
• visually represent and evaluate the status of a production process of a product family with regard to the flow of materials and information
• identify synergies of lean management, digitalization and resource-efficient production

Lecture and laboratory practicals

The module examination consists of two parts. As part of the first part, students complete weekly laboratory exercises in group work during the semester, which contribute 50% to the overall module grade. The second part is a 10-minute oral examination, which takes place as part of a technical discussion. The students prove that they can reproduce their knowledge of lean production and apply it to conceptual issues in the sense of a transfer performance. The technical discussion accounts for 50% of the overall grade.
 

optional

6.25% (see StgPO)

The students have in-depth knowledge of material properties, heat and mass transfer as well as the calculation of fluid dynamic processes in combination with heat and mass transfer, with and without phase change. They are proficient in modeling use cases and programming thermodynamic and fluid dynamic calculations.
