On 26.04. there will be an additional lecture from 09:50 to 11:30 in room L1|01 24K. On this day, both exercise groups will take place once at 8:00 a.m. On 09.05. and 31.05.2024 no lectures and exercises will be held.

Lecture

The aim of the lecture “Tools and Methods in Product Development” is to teach students the basics, procedures and methods of modern product development. The lecture contents are explained using many practical examples.

Exercise

The exercise is designed in such a way that the students can apply the contents taught in the lecture to an example product themselves. For this purpose, teams of 4 to 6 students work independently on development tasks. In addition to teaching methodological skills, the course focuses on expanding social skills such as teamwork, self-motivation, communication and self-criticism. Furthermore, the creativity of the participants is encouraged through the processing of the exercise tasks.
