Technical prerequisites Recommended: methodological procedure pursuant to VDI 2221 et seq.

Qualification objectives As a student or newcomer to the profession, you will typically

receive a defined problem that you have to solve. Where does this

definition of the problem come from? After this course, you will be

able to define an imprecise need or problematic situation and will

be able to specify the objectives and partial objectives for it. For

this purpose, you will employ methods to recognize possibilities

for improvement and will derive objectives from this. These

objectives are also typically connected with counter-objectives,

which you will be able to recognize. This is a special aspect of

Coburg’s methodology. From a long list of individual objectives,

you will methodically select the most important ones and will find

technical parameters for it using the QFD method. You will list

these in a specification sheet. You will then develop different

solution concepts using the TRIZ method.

ECTS 2


Qualification objectives Specialized skills:

The goal of the module is to teach students the most important

application-related areas of civil law that apply to

engineers/technicians.

Methodological skills:

Students will acquire the ability to recognize legal problem areas

and resolve simple cases in professional practice independently

– if appl. in cooperation with legal experts. They will be

introduced into legal methods and case work for this purpose.

The modules will strengthen students in their ability to

understand, analyze, and communicate legal situations so they

will be able to assess legal risks with certainty in their practical

activities.

Other skills:


75

The module supports team spirit and organizational skills, but

also instructs students to work independently.

Contents Basics of civil law:

Basic concepts of law, natural or legal persons and legal entities,

basics of legal transactions, substitutions, contractual

obligations, defaults and breaches of duty, particularly relevant

types of contracts, legal aspects of the internet

Qualification objectives Students will be able to connect the structure

and properties of materials. They will be able to:

Differentiate between different material-specific treatments

and will be able to assess suitable applications for metallic

materials. Assess functional improvement to traditional

materials, such as steel and aluminum. Select and assess

suitable material testing procedures and estimate how

meaningful different material tests are.
