To provide the opportunity to explore specific topics in depth, which is not available as a regular course in a specific curriculum.
The assignment has to be concluded by a written report. The topic will be selected and tutored by a scientific staff member of the Robotics and Mechatronics group (RAM).
The course is not scheduled in the time table of the programme, since it will be adapted to the students’ needs. Students are expected to show a high degree of independence and initiative in following this course.
Once a student has found a teacher for this course, student and teacher at the Robotics and Mechatronics group (RAM) should reach an agreement about:
- the topic to be studied
- the course materials (e.g. papers, books)
- the learning activities (e.g. self study, assignments, projects, presentations)
- a time schedule for the activities
- the assessment procedure and criteria.
