What it is about
You engage with a current research topic from Computational Science and Engineering (CSE). You independently work on a subtopic, present your results to the group, and write an accompanying seminar paper. In the end you can select scientific literature, summarize a topic, and present it both in writing and orally in an understandable way.
What you will be able to do
- Acquire knowledge on a clearly defined CSE topic independently
- Scientific writing (structure and style of papers)
- Scientific presentation (presentation structure and use of media)
- Identify and evaluate relevant professional literature
- Write a seminar paper (8–10 pages)
- Identify and discuss aspects of reproducibility
- Give and receive constructive feedback
- Strengthen discipline-specific communication skills
What the module consists of
- SeminarYou work on a single topic, present to the plenary and discuss your fellow students' presentations; partly collaboration on closely related topics
- SelbststudiumIndependent research and elaboration of the seminar paper and the presentation
Teaching method
- Themenauswahl durch LehrendeDetermines the overarching seminar topic and the individual topics of the participants
- Einzel- und GruppenarbeitYou independently work on individual subtopics; for closely related topics you coordinate with other students
- Tutorielle BetreuungTeachers and tutors support in literature selection and subject-specific questions
- PlenumssitzungenPresentations and subsequent discussions to practise presentation technique and technical exchange
- Peer-ReviewMutual feedback on seminar papers and presentations to foster communication and assessment skills
