Digital Teaching:
This course will be held as digital teaching in the summer semester 2021. Digital teaching starts at TU Darmstadt in week 15 (from 12.04.2021).

Digital teaching will take place on the weekdays and at the times specified in TUCaN. The room details for the individual dates in TUCaN, if available, represent the original attendance planning and are to be ignored at present.

The TU Darmstadt uses the video conferencing system ZOOM for digital teaching. You can test the technical requirements here: https://zoom.us/test .

You will receive the link for this teaching event with an email via TUCaN - it will then be carried out online and live.

Prerequisite for participation in digital teaching:
• You have registered as a participant in TUCaN.
• You use your first and last name when registering in ZOOM.

With a manageable number of participants, questions can be asked directly during the lecture. Switch on the microphone and ask your question. After asking your question, please switch the microphone back to mute. Disruptive or anonymous participants will be excluded from the current lecture.

The current presentation will be uploaded to moodle as a PDF file on the eve of the course at the latest. The course will be recorded by us. Our aim is to make the recording available to you. In case of technical problems with the transmission bandwidth of ZOOM, you can also watch the course again later.

One challenge is the required group work. Here we have to find new ways together.

Presumably, the final presentation of the task by the group will also take place via ZOOM. At the moment, it is also still unclear how we will proceed with the written test. We will start on 21.4.2021 at 13.30. Mr Weber will then first clarify the requirements for participation with you. Please read the requirements again.

Prerequisites for participation:
Please register via e-mail with the supervisor of the lecture, Mr Carl Fridolin Weber, M.Sc. ( weber@idd.tu-darmstadt.de), for participation. A premature registration in TUCaN is not desired and will not be considered. Deadline for registration is Friday 15.04.2021.

Requirements for participation are:
• Enrolled in Master's degree programmes MPE or Mechatronics or in Bachelor's degree programme MPE with submitted Bachelor's thesis (certificate).
• Examination in the subject "Applied Product Development" (formerly PE 1, 2) passed

When designing your study plan, please take into account that in previous semesters the demand was higher than the maximum number of participants of 20.
The following criteria will therefore be used for further selection:

• ADP, research seminar or Bachelor thesis conducted at the IDD.
• Lectures in the Bachelor's programme at the IDD examined

If there are still too many interested parties left, the order of e-mail registrations will decide. The final allocation of places will take place at the introductory event (21.04.2021, 13:30). Attendance is compulsory at this event. If you cannot be present on this date, please notify Mr Weber, otherwise your place will be allocated elsewhere. Admitted students will receive a confirmation email after the introductory session asking you to register in TUCaN. The prerequisites will be checked and the groups will be assigned at the introductory event.

Attendance is compulsory on 04.07.2021 and 14.07.2021. On these dates, there will be a written test (duration 1 hour), as well as the presentation of the results of the seminar assignment and the qualified invention disclosure. The grade results from 30% seminar assignment (group grade), 30% qualified invention disclosure (group grade), 10% final presentation and 30% written test.

Expected Number of Participants:
