This course serves the scientific treatment of a special task in the field of mechatronics, whereby this is accomplished in small groups. The course has three main focuses.

On the basis of the literature found students are introduced to the subject and thereby enabled to suggest possible solutions. These proposed solutions will be discussed in the group and then worked out. The conclusion takes the form of a technical report and a presentation to a technically experienced audience. The topics will be taken from current research projects.
Examples are:
Further possible topics arise from advertised bachelor or diploma theses.
After the selection of the topics by the students, the supervision takes place in individual appointments during the semester.
The presentation and assignment of topics will take place during the preliminary discussion - please consider the currently advertised diploma thesis topics (TISS, theses: https://tiss.tuwien.ac.at/thesis) to select topics.
