Workload:
Workload of student for successfully completing the course. Each ECTS credit represents 30 working hours. These are the combined effort of face-to-face time, post-processing the subject of the lecture, exercises and preparation for the exam.

The total workload is distributed on the semester (01.04.-30.09. during the summer term, 01.10.-31.03. during the winter term).
60 class hours (= 45 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 150 hours (equivalent to 5 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 105 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
None.
Recommended as prerequisite for:
Module coordinator:
Prof. Dr.-Ing. John Heppe

Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this module, students will be able to
develop innovative ideas in a team using creative methods and to define a new product,
quantify its degree of innovation and differentiate it from the current state of the art or direct competitors,
select a product-specific development and production environment,
divide the work required to turn the idea into a marketable product into work packages, estimate the time and cost involved and identify financing options and
present their idea, its feasibility and the market opportunities in a joint presentation in a well-founded and convincing manner.
