General In the Advanced Design Project, students are given the opportunity to work on current research projects. Here, students work in teams on complex tasks that are roughly defined by the respective supervisor. The topics are varied and practical. The students should work out their own solutions and the subject area should be concretized independently. It is possible to involve the industry in the task definition, the provision of aids and in the presentation of the results. During the project, the students are intensively supervised and offered a modern working environment. A constructive product development must be in the foreground, otherwise the MechCenter can reject the work.
Aims The student should master the scientific way of working. He should be able to organize, plan and carry out the task independently. organize, plan and carry out the task. This includes the independent acquisition of information from the library from the library and from databases. He should also be able to present his results in written as well as oral form in a scientifically correct manner. in a scientifically correct manner.

General provides students with an opportunity to work on current research projects. ARPs involve an analytical approach to research problems, particularly through the research and evaluation of literature. Each participant of the ARP is assigned an individual topic, which is determined by the supervisor.given by the respective supervisor. The individual topics of an ARP usually complement each other in terms of content, so that a broad discussion within the team is possible. In addition to work and time planning for complex tasks, this also and time planning for complex tasks, teamwork and role understanding as well as communication and moderation techniques. During the project, the students are intensively supervised and they are offered a modern working environment.
