Abstract
This project-based course allows the students to get insights into a selected real-world challenge in Geospatial Engineering. Besides the methodical and subject related competences which the students acquire, the course aims particularly at enhancing a variety of transferable skills, above all teamwork, critical thinking and communication.
Objective
-The students know the basic rules of scientific work and integrity, and apply them to their work. -The students know and apply success factors for teamwork including team roles, team phases and reflection. -The students know and apply the elements of critical thinking, they identify and reflect their own position within discussions. -The students have obtained insight into a selected challenge within Geospatial Engineering and are able to share this insight with their fellow students.
Content
The students chose one of the offered topics. They work on the topic in groups of about 4 students. The team members discuss and plan their roles, they take initiative and responsibility for the team result such that the project goals can be achieved. At the beginning of the semester there is an introduction to scientific working for all students. The groups carry out the project at least partially during times individually agreed upon by the group members. At pre-arranged times there is an exchange with the supervisors and with the other groups. The results are documented in a report and on a poster, and are presented tot he other students.
