Additive Manufacturing Challenge (EuroTeQ)

What it is about

You will learn the fundamentals of additive manufacturing as well as aspects of materials production, and you will work in international teams on practical projects. In the end you will be able to plan and implement projects in multinational groups, select suitable materials, and present results.

What you will be able to do

• Teamwork in internationally composed groups
• Project management under time and budget constraints
• Conflict resolution and willingness to compromise in international teams
• Replicate theoretical fundamentals of additive manufacturing
• Material selection with software tools
• Scientific documentation and presentation of project results

What the module consists of

• LectureConveying the theoretical foundations and inputs through guest lectures
• Group work / ProjectApplication of what has been learned in international teams; creation of report and presentation
• Online-/Video-on-Demand offeringsProvision of teaching content for flexible preparation and follow-up

Teaching method

• Face-to-face and online teaching (Video on Demand)Enables flexible knowledge transfer and synchronous exchange
• Independent group workPromotes teamwork, project management and intercultural communication
• Regular supervision sessionsEnsures progress and feedback for the project groups
• Use of video conferencing software (e.g. Zoom)Supports synchronous interaction between students and instructors
• Guest lectures from industryIllustrate industrial applications and practical relevance
