Learning outcomes:
On the basis of the knowledge acquired in the mandatory Bachelor modules, this module focuses on the written and oral presentation of scientific ideas in team meetings and at conferences such as the IEEE Student Conference.
After successfully completing this module, students will be familiar with strategies for writing academic papers in English and be able to apply these strategies appropriately when writing about subject-specific topics.
In addition, they will have a wider repertoire for designing and presenting lectures, especially poster presentations, and will be able to apply this repertoire in practice. They will have improved their understanding of functional language use and interculturally appropriate communication in English-speaking countries or in English as a bridge language.
