Module Student Research Project, Media Computer Science (Bachelor) (ER 5)
Students will be able to independently apply the knowledge they have acquired in their previous studies to a complete task. They can analyse the problem, create a solution concept, find an implementation and implement it on their own. They can also write down their results observing scientific standards. They can also present their work in a short presentation and defend it in a subsequent discussion.
A student research project deals with a topic in the field of software or hardware. The aim is to carry out a practical task, but work in the areas of evaluation or literature research is also possible.
Students analyse the task and research which tools are best suited to solve it. They then use these accordingly. Comprehensive documentation must be prepared for the project work, covering all steps of the task and its completion (e.g. the exact problem definition, the concept, the implementation, operating instructions and more). A joint colloquium concludes the project work. The students show their results in a short presentation and then take part in a discussion. The project work is thus a preparation for the later final thesis, which the students will write according to very similar guidelines.
Depending on the task
The colloquium marks the conclusion of the project work. Students present their results in a short presentation and then take part in a discussion. In doing so, they demonstrate that they are able to explain and defend the problem, the realisation of the work and the solution found in a short, concise form.
All work will be individual work and will include the presentation, discussion, defense of the work.
