Prerequisite/Recommended prerequisite for
participation in the module
This module is based on knowledge gained in the module Project in
Classic Production and Service Technologies (P0).
Content, progress and pedagogy of the
module
To provide the student with practical experience defining a
project within the area of manufacturing and operations
engineering, which includes use innovative and agile production
methods and services, to implement the project by working in groups
and to document the solution in a project report. To give the
students a common understanding of key challenges and developments
in the field and to induce a shared feeling of belonging to the
study programme.
Learning objectives
Knowledge
- Knowledge about manufacturing and operations engineering in
order to identify relevant contextual perspectives of a given
technology
- Knowledge about project management in a long-term problem based
project (in this case 2-3 months)
- Knowledge of methodological consideration to describe the
theoretical and empirical foundation of the project
- Must have knowledge about how modern innovation, production and
service technology can be used to solve a specific problem
- Must have knowledge about commonly used technologies and
approaches for innovative and agile production and service
- Must have knowledge about commonly occurring production and
service processes.
- Must have knowledge about the use of modern innovation,
production and service technologies
- Must know how to use a programming language to control mechanic
or electronic components
- Must know how to use typical programming syntaxes such as
conditional branching, loops, etc.
Skills
- Analyze individual as well as organizational processes by
scientifically recognized concepts and methods
- Organize and manage a longer-term project considering group and
supervisor collaboration
- Structure and communicate the reflections and results of the
problem based project work; orally, graphically and in writing
- Must be able to work in a team
- Must be able to identify and define a problem suitable for a
project involving innovation, agile production and service
technologies
- Must be able to identify classic approaches in existing
production and service implementations and compare these with
modern approaches.
- Must be able to choose and use specific approaches for
innovative and agile production and service
- Must be able to plan a systematic test of a chosen production
or service technology
- Must be able to discuss/assess the quality of the technology
choice in a wider context
- Must be able to program basic programs
Competences
- Take responsibility of one’s own learning during a
longer-termed project period and be able to generalize the gained
experiences
- Must have competencies for discussing and comparing classical
production and service technologies vs. modern technological
approaches
- Must have competences in document and discuss the wider market
related implications of a real life application
- Must have competences to coordinate the project, to present the
results and communicate the results
- Shall have basic programing skills.
Type of instruction
The module is carried out as group-based problem-oriented
project work. The group work is carried out as an independent work
process in which the students themselves organize and coordinate
their workload in collaboration with a supervisor. The project is
carried out in groups with normally no more than 7 members.
Extent and expected workload
Since it is a 10 ECTS course module the expected workload
is 300 hours for the student.
