Assessment:
Note on SIM registration: Please ensure that you add the following two P numbers to your “basket”:
P241-0245: Practical exam (pass/fail) / Praktische Prüfung (ergibt bestanden / nicht bestanden)
P241-0244: Exam = Project work with written report (results in a grade) / Klausur = Projektarbeit mit Ausarbeitung (ergibt eine Note)
This module is based on projects described in a "guideline" (scope of work approx. 60 time hours each for 7 working meetings with preparation / follow-up) from the fields of mechanical and process engineering:
Each student must prepare a paper/documentation/test report/report for each project:
up to 5 - 6 pages of content (= text in font size 11 with informative illustrations, at least one table with explanations, at least one diagram with explanations) plus indexes and appendix. To do so, students will use what they have learned and the WORD template from the "Technical Documentation" module.
Deadline: March 31st 2025 The exact submission period will be announced in good time.
Students must create an informative, entertaining video clip (duration 1 to 2 minutes) for each project. The clip should be suitable for an "application". The video clip is teamwork.
Feedback discussion with supervisor.
Submission of project results:
Each project team saves the results for each project on a separate USB stick. One stick for project 1 and another stick for project 2.
These sticks should contain the following, clearly organized:
The individual reports on projects 1 and 2.
The video clips on projects 1 and 2.
The presentation on project 2.
The USB sticks must be attached to a piece of cardboard (or sturdy paper) in DIN A4 format so that they cannot be lost but are easy to remove.
The cardboard should be labeled with: Degree program, module name, semester, project name, team member names, and their student ID numbers.
You can make the cardboard (or sturdy paper) yourself inexpensively and creatively from old materials.

Teaching methods/Media:
In small groups, students will work on projects described in a "guideline" by means of simple tasks that demonstrate the range of mechanical engineering / process engineering content and typical activities carried out in the fields.
The projects promote creativity and analytical skills. They are designed to allow students to experience how much fun these activities are and the how rewarding it is to achieve results.
With simple structures, built/developed by themselves, they will analyze engineering-relevant topics and thus, create connections to the curriculum’s content. Students will be encouraged to actively seek any other knowledge they require from other teaching staff members at the htw saar.
The projects will be accompanied and supervised by teachers who, as a point of reference, can also provide mentoring.
