Modules

Prerequisites

Contents

The research module consists of a project planning phase as well as a laboratory internship and concludes with a seminar talk. It is usually carried out in the same subject area in which the master's thesis is to be written. Under the guidance of a supervisor, the students deal with a scientific question in a selected research field. The supervisor is a university lecturer at the BTU or a scientist at a non-university institute. In the second case, the course director names a mentor from the electrical engineering department or the physics department at the beginning of the module, who will be involved in the assessment.

Learning outcomes

After successfully completing the module, students have the ability to familiarize themselves with the diverse application- and research-related fields of expertise relevant to micro- and nanoelectronics, and to deal with the frequently changing tasks that they will encounter in their subsequent professional lives. They are able to work in a team, have individual skills such as diligence, perseverance, time management and initiative and can hold a technical discussion.
