The students expand their professional knowledge base through "Learning by Doing" based on the requirements of the workplace. This allows them to measure, assess, specialize, and supplement their level of knowledge in individual areas.

In the internship position, students learn to assess the real importance of the various areas of specialization in civil engineering by participating in real work projects. The students test their knowledge and skills in the communication process with the professional colleagues at the internship site and in performance comparison with the implemented construction projects.

The students get to know the "normal" working day in professional institutions, use computer-assisted methods, process data, and learn working methods.At the same time, they gain insights into professional and personal marketing strategies, execution techniques and qualities that are crucial for their further studies and professional paths.Thanks to the experienced proximity to reality, they strengthen their motivation for the profession and gain contact skills, self-confidence, and security. They make profound experiences and significant progress in personal development. During the practical study phase, the students acquire further practical and social-communicative key qualifications that cannot be taught or achieved at the university.

By linking actual experiences on the construction site with the scientific presentation in the engineering report, graduates learn to develop scientifically-based judgments. They develop and implement solution approaches or solutions that correspond to the state of the art in science.

Graduates derive and define research questions; explain and justify the operationalization of research; apply research methods; present and explain research results.They are able to derive and analyze solution strategies for issues in order to scientifically investigate emerging problems, to formulate questions, to evaluate them, and to derive solutions from the acquired knowledge.

Graduates develop competencies for discourse and collaboration both with professionals and with individuals from different fields.

Graduates are able to engage with their own findings in a factual, critical, and reflective manner after successfully completing the module. They develop a professional self-image that is oriented toward goals and standards of professional action in predominantly non-academic fields of work. They are able to justify their own professional actions with theoretical and methodological knowledge.
