Module Student Research Project 2, Computer Science (Master) (ER 6)
This module is the continuation of the course "Scientific or project based work I". In this module, students study a scientific problem or application project continuously throughout the whole term. The project may be, but is not necessarily so, a continuation of the problem studied in the first part of the course.
In parallel, the students prepare a scientific talk open to the faculty.
Problems and projects may be opened by every faculty member, they are advertized on the message board at the beginning of the term.
Scientific research problems usually are at the leading edge of computer science research and may be carried out in cooperation with research institutions.
Application projects are of particular relevance for the industrial practice and may be carried out in cooperation with an industrial partner.
According to project requirements.
Prerequisites According to project requirements. Format Presence time and group discussion 30 %, self study 70 %. Oral exam 30 Minutes Counseling In general, a weekly project session involving the whole team is scheduled. The counseling amounts to at least one hour per week and student.
Each participant of the seminar creates under the guidance of a supervising faculty staff a written report in housework. The contents of the report should be computer science related. Based on the report suitable presentation techniques (slides, video sequences, programmed examples) are selected. Each participant individually presents his report followed by a discussion. The seminar topics are classified into thematic groups. Besides the technical problem the student has to learn how to do 'self-marketing'. The assessment of the student is based on the following criteria: degree of difficulty, quality of written preparation; didactically skillful presentation.
Depends on the topic
Meetings with the faculty supervisor; eventually experimental studies, literature refurbishment; presenting the work-out; defend the own presentation; active participation in discussing the presentations of others.
