Course contents:

Depending on the level, students can intensify their knowledge in grammar and vocabulary. The first two levels (English for Advanced 1 and 2) deal with the repetition of the grammar. The examples reflect typical situations in which both technical and general language are used; other examples are e.g. application letters, the description of products and services, business phone calls, communication processes in formal and informal meetings, presentations, etc. In Business English, the main focus is on spoken language and work in small groups. At the beginning of the semester, each group founds its own company, which is dynamically developed during the course of the semester. In Technical English, the main focus is on acquiring and using a basic technical vocabulary and typical expressions of technical communication.

Course contents:

After the students have analysed the main problem, they independently design and determine the specifications and requirements of the product. The documents are presented in form of a role play in which the participants act as another character, e.g. manager or customer, to discuss and improve the relevant documents. This mid-term presentations emulate industrial project team meetings with a fixed agenda, protocol, leadership, voting procedures, kick-off etc. They are followed by the evaluation phase which includes a value analysis and cost and risk assessment. After the final kick-off meeting of the team session phase, the design and manufacturing process starts. This phase is critically accompanied by more reviews and laboratory presentations. At the end of the semester, the finished product is being publically presented.

Prerequisites: Completed basic studies, Product Development, Microcomputers, completeted internship semester



• have learned to apply the product development process in the form of a team-oriented project work,

• have learned to analyse and specify products, • have learned to use technical documents, • have improved their team spirit and their technical communication
