The independent solution of complex technical tasks based on scientific principles is one of the core competences of engineers and computer scientists. With the Bachelor's thesis, students demonstrate that they can systematically use and implement the theoretical and practical knowledge, skills and competences they have acquired and that they can independently work on and document a concrete, practice-oriented task from their field of specialization on a scientific basis within a limited period of time. The coherent presentation of reports and the subject-related presentation serves the purpose of communication between experts and ensures that acquired knowledge and skills are retained.

1. Specification of the task
2. Creation of a time schedule
3. Recording the state of the art
4. Creation of concepts to solve the task
5. Developing partial solutions and combining them into an overall concept
6. Overall assessment and evaluation of the solution
7. Presentation of the solution in the form of a Bachelor's thesis
8. Presentation of the results in a colloquium.

The total workload for the module is 450 hours (see also "ECTS credit points and grading").

• Final Degree Thesis and Final Oral Examination

Credit points: 12 CP for the Bachelor's thesis and 3 CP for the colloquium

• Bachelor thesis: 40 - 70 pages
• Colloquium: 15 - 45 minutes

Broad knowledge of the subject studied

Students know how to work methodically on practical tasks and present a clearly structured result within a given time frame. 

Students have a critical understanding of the most important theories, principles and methods from their studies, can familiarize themselves with a new task on this basis and independently deepen their knowledge in a specific area.

Students can evaluate the state of the literature in the context of the underlying research question and critically reflect on methodological approaches.

Students use the tools and methods they have learned and developed in the course of their studies to support their work. They develop solution approaches on the basis of these and use them to implement state-of-the-art solutions.

Students research the state of the art and derive innovative approaches to the specific scientific task of their thesis. In their explanations, they present the underlying research results and their innovations.

Students formulate technical challenges and solutions and present these in discourse with representatives of the subject area. They communicate with those involved, taking into account their diverse perspectives and areas of interest

In their final thesis, students develop a professional self-image that is oriented towards goals and standards of professional action in professional fields that are predominantly outside of academia. They recognize situationally appropriate framework conditions for professional action in relation to the task of their thesis and can reflect on their work in an interdisciplinary context.
