July 27 - July 30: Preparatory workshops (3 mandatory plus additional optional workshops)
July 31 (noon): Submission of the kick-off presentation
August 3: Joint kick-off event for all teams and companies. Presentation of introductory presentations – everyone gets to know each other!
August 3–August 20: Individual project work in teams (full-time = at least 30 hours/week) / in between, mandatory and voluntary coaching sessions with the teaching team as well as 2–3 social after-work events.

Course content:

• Carrying out a student research project as part of current research activities in the field of Manufacturing Processes and the main department of Manufacturing Technology at Leibniz-IWT
• Working in a group of students supervised by research assistants
• The relevant topics are updated each summer semester.

• Definition of residual stresses
• Formation of residual stresses
• Effect of residual stresses
• Measurement of residual stresses (Indirect methods, Direct methods)
• Influence of machining on the workpiece surface layer during turning and milling, grinding, shot peening, deep rolling, and water jet machining, laser beam hardening and electric discharge machining
• Surface layer modification during machining of difficult-to-cut materials

The course conveys the fundamental manufacturing processes according to DIN 8580. It covers primary shaping (casting and molding), forming, machining, and joining, as well as process modeling and monitoring. Physical principles and technological limits are analyzed in detail. A Key focus is on optimal process selection using economic cost accounting. Additionally, strategies for resource efficiency and sustainable production are examined.
Upon completion, students are able to classify manufacturing technology within production engineering and evaluate processes both technically and economically. They can distinguish and describe machining with geometrically defined and undefined cutting edges based on their characteristics and applications. Furthermore, students are qualified to select and implement suitable cooling and lubrication strategies to promote sustainable manufacturing processes.

The basics of tribology and viscosity, as well as their significance, are explained. Special attention is given to friction and wear in forming processes and the resulting requirements. The connection from the more theoretical aspects of tribology to practical application is made.

Kenntnisse und Verständnis von Kristallstrukturen, Bindungsarten, Defekten und deren Zusammenhang mit der Funktionalität technischer Werkstoffe. Es wird ein Überblick über fortschrittliche Kohlenstoff-, Oxid-, Nichtoxid-, Glas- und Glaskeramikwerkstoffe gegeben und die Beziehungen zwischen Mikrostruktur und Eigenschaften werden diskutiert.

• They are familiar with the common scientific methods for assessing ecological and socioeconomic impacts.
• They are familiar with the most important ecological and socioeconomic impacts of various components of the energy system (generation, distribution, storage).

Das 2-semestrige Forschungsgrundlagen (6 CP) bereitet Studierende darauf vor, an Forschungsprojekten selbstständig und in Arbeitsgruppen zu arbeiten und Forschungsfortschritte zu leisten:
wissenschaftliche Fragen zu stellen, Forschungsziele zu setzen und wissenschaftliche Forschungsprojekte zu planen, wissenschaftliche Projekte durchzuführen und an ihnen eigenverantwortlich als auch in Arbeitsgruppen zu arbeiten, und Forschungsdaten gemäß guter wissenschaftlicher Praxis zu erwerben, speichern, analysieren und publizieren.

Die Inhalte des Moduls werden vermittelt durch Einzelveranstaltungen, Seminare und Workshops.

Bei Teil I des Moduls (Lehrveranstaltung: Forschungsgrundlagen I, 3 CP, Wintersemester 2017/2018) wird der Schwerpunkt bei diesen Themen sein:
Einführung in das Projektmanagement und Forschung, Themenfindung und Anfang der wissenschaftlichen Arbeit, Umgang mit wissenschaftlicher Literatur und Zitate, Planen und Schreiben wissenschaftlicher Aufsätze, Texte für die Öffentlichkeit. Geplant ist auch das Thema "Regeln guter wissenschaftlicher Praxis und Forschungsethik".

Teil II des Moduls (Lehrveranstaltung: Forschungsgrundlagen II, 3 CP, Sommersemester 2018) soll diese Themen bearbeiten:

Leadership and organization are the universal keys to effective professional work—especially in the technological environment. Characterized by complexity and the need for sound technical expertise, it is important to build true intelligence in order to actively shape synergies and innovation.
This experiential course teaches the concept of leadership fusion:
mental strength, connective leadership, and successful transformation and innovation.
Leadership fusion is an integrative approach that questions traditional leadership models and understands leadership as a dynamic process of connecting goals, people, and structures. The focus is not solely on behavioral control, but on the conscious design of organizations through inner strength, relationship quality, and transformative action competence.
