| learning outcome | Students are able to explain the basics and the progress in science and research. They can analyze methods and results in scientific publications. They can judge them for their applicability in new research applications and can develop strategies for their implementation. Students know the various research methodologies and ways of disseminating research results.They have gained knowledge about the basic research rules, their application and the finding, reading and writing of scientific publications. They know about citations and citation rules, copyrights, plagiarism and can apply them in their own research. The students know the basics of publishing research results and can apply that in written and oral form. For selected research applications, the students have knowledge about various methods and steps, procedures and their control and analysis. After the seminar, the students have gained a deeper knowledge of science and research for selected examples, and they have learned how to search information and how to present this in a talk and to discuss the problems. After intensive critical discussions and group work during the exercises, the students can correctly assess and appreciate of science and research, as well as the presentations and achievements of their fellow students. They take criticism, heed remarks and accept suggestions, as well as they can argue in a critical and scientific manner. After the scientific talk (presentation and discussion), students can present a scientific topic, interpret the research results and have a scientific discussion. They have the ability to analyze, summarize, interpret and to discuss a scientific research topic. This shows the metacognitive knowledge of the students. Beside these aims and knowledge tests the students have proofed the factual, conceptual, and procedural knowledge of science and research in engineering and natural sciences. They have all basics available and the can apply this knowledge and transfer it to given problems. |

Methodological Competences Students can judge the quality of science and research. They can analyze research work and draw conclusions out of them. They are able to convert research results into actions and own research actions. They can discuss research with peers.Self-reflecting competencesStudents know how to deal with research work and can judge about deficiencies and limitations. They know how to extend the problem and find a solution. Social Competences After the seminar, the students have gained deeper knowledge for selected research examples, and they have learned how to search information and how to present this in a report and in a talk and to discuss the problems. After intensive discussions and group work during the exercises, the students can correctly assess and appreciate the achievements of their fellow students. They take criticism, heed remarks and accept suggestions.
