The bachelor's thesis is the culmination of the program. The students develop, enhance, and demonstrate their methodological abilities to independently tackle and solve a given research problem. The thesis furnishes the students with their first major research experience, and is a further development of the work done in the basis courses, and usually, the focused study.

Numerical methods for the solution of flow, heat & mass transfer problems are presented and illustrated by analytical & computer exercises. The course is taught using the flipped classroom format.
