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.

This course will provide an introduction to the fundamentals and the applications of combustion in energy conversion and nanoparticles synthesis. The content is highly relevant for technologies which cannot be electrified such as long distance aviation and shipping, and which will more and more rely on carbon-neutral synthetic fuels.

The class gives an overview of fundamental concepts in nanoscale engineering. Mobility of small objects, interacting forces, surface tensions and wetting phenomena are some of the physical phenomena investigated. These will be applied to the description of formation and growth of nanoparticles and thin films as well as nanofabrication technologies.

Selected laboratory experiments in physics, mechanical and process engineering. With the Laboratory Training held during the fifth semester, the students learn how to handle and apply measurement methods and devices. Students are offered a diversified choice of laboratory experiments at least eleven of which must be completed. Five of the chosen experiments must be in physics.

This course presents the fundamentals of transport phenomena with emphasis on mass transfer. The physical significance of basic principles is elucidated and quantitatively described. Furthermore. the application of these principles to important engineering problems is demonstrated.

Material Properties that are important for the study of micro- and nanosystems will be reviewed. Also methods to characterize materials will be described.In particular, the following topics will be covered:continuum mechanical propertieselectrical propertiesoptical propertiesthermal and transport propertiessurface properties

Particles are everywhere and nano is the new scale in science & engineering as micro was ~200 years ago. For highly motivated students, this exceptionally demanding class gives a flavor of nanotechnology with hands-on student projects on gas-phase particle synthesis & applications capitalizing on particle dynamics (diffusion, coagulation etc.), shape, size distribution and characterization.

Practical training at pilot facilities for fundamental processing steps, typical laboratory and pilot facility experiments.

The students are familiar with the challenges of the fascinating and interdisciplinary field of Micro- and Nanosystems. They are introduced to the basics of independent non-experimental scientific research and are able to summarize and to present the results efficiently.
