Syllabus plan/Content:

By means of an application project in a real company, students work in a team of 2-4 students on a concrete practical task from the field of management systems (TPT task). The knowledge acquired so far during the studies is deepened and applied and the students develop a solution proposal. The students work on the TPT task largely independently by defining and reporting on the project goals, the process and the work packages to be worked on independently with the entrepreneurial client. This procedure is embedded in a roughly defined project plan, which consists of a kick-off meeting, practical phases in the companies, consultations with the lecturers, an interim and final presentation. The project plan as well as the interim results have to be regularly coordinated with the lecturers and the companies and released by them.
