Master's Thesis Maschinenwesen

What it is about

You independently tackle a scientific or application-oriented problem from the master's degree program (theoretical, experimental, or constructive). In the end you can solve the question independently, plausibilize the results, document scientifically, and present them in a lecture.

What you will be able to do

• Application of advanced subject knowledge to complex or new questions
• Development of autonomous methods and solutions
• Analysis, evaluation, and critical plausibility check of results
• Creation and adherence to a project plan with milestones and time management
• Composing a scientific paper according to the rules of good scientific practice
• Structured presentation and technical defense of the results

What the module consists of

• Master's Thesis (written dissertation)Main examination: comprehensive scientific processing of the research question
• Lecture (oral presentation)Final study achievement for the presentation and defense of the thesis (must be passed)
• Report (accompanying the seminar 'Scientific Work')Study achievement to demonstrate project planning, feasibility assessment and application of good scientific practice (must be passed)
• Seminar 'Scientific Work'Conveying basics and assistance for scientific work

Teaching method

• Project work / Independent processingYou work as an engineer on an individual topic and practically apply the methods of the degree program
• Supervision by qualified examinersFamiliarization with the topic, references to literature and implementation as well as advice at the beginning and during the work
• Seminar and eLearningConveyance and deepening of the guidelines of good scientific practice as well as supplementary content and support
• Peer reviews, Q&A, E-testsDeepening of knowledge, clarification of uncertainties and feedback through interaction
