in the Appendix of the Study and Examination Regulations. With Core Elective Modules from the

areas of engineering and business (ENG1/2/3/4 and BUS1/2/3/4) students can choose one area for

specialisation. Possible areas of specialisation and the associated modules are listed in Attachment

1 (engineering specialisation area) and Attachment 2 (business specialisation area). From a variety

of courses for the module Core Competences 2 (COC2) students have to complete one. Possible


courses are listed in Attachment 3. Possible experiments for the module Laboratory Tests (LABT)

are listed in Attachment 4.

In general, module descriptions are written in the respective language of instruction/examination

according to the Study and Examination Regulations.

Due to changing conditions (e.g. newly appointed professors), actual teaching staff and times/dates

may vary from the details given in this module handbook. Only the Curriculum published for the

respective semester is binding; it is decided upon every semester and sent to the students by e-mail.

By completing the Electives in Engineering (ENG1/2/3/4), students acquire thorough knowledge in

technical areas. Students can choose courses from the fields of Mechanical engineering and Mech-

atronics. Students may specialise in one technical field (currently only a specialisation in Mechatron-

ics is possible); to do so, they have to complete a certain combination of courses. Two courses are

compulsory and two more can be chosen from a list. Moreover, students have to complete additional

experiments from the respective field (see also the description of the module Laboratory Tests).

Possible courses are listed below. Students who do not want to specialise become generalists and

can combine four courses for Electives in Engineering independent from the field of engineering.

There is also no particular combination of experiments necessary.

They differentiate between different types of ro-bot kinematics and specify corresponding fields of application and application limits. The students apply the Denavit-Hartenberg convention for describ-ing robot kinematics. In doing so, they are able to specify the loca-tion of the end-effector as a function of the joint variables and vice versa. The students create and interpret simple robot programmes. They specify application areas and application limits of human-robot col-laboration.

Students have gained a greater sensitivity to cultural diversity and have improved their ability to work in multicultural teams and/or do business with suppliers or customers from different parts of the world.

The students learn this in direct field contact: during the period of one semester they act as “Buddies” for incoming students. The practical experience of “Buddies” is reflected in and complimented by theoretical intercultural teaching sessions.

Contents Practical application: Supporting Incoming Students:

Initial support upon arrival in Germany (dormitory, supermar-ket, university etc.)

First point of contact for all issues during the semester (daily live, exams etc.)

Organize events to integrate students and to give insights into German culture

Introduce incoming students to other local students

Theoretical sessions to reflect experiences:

Basics on culture (culture models, stereotypes, prejudices, cultural dimensions, studying in multicultural teams etc.)

Reflection of practical experiences with incoming students

FHWS students who plan to study 1-2 semester abroad at a partner university will be treated preferentially if they had acted as a “Buddy” for incoming students before.

They are able to interpret the behavior of people from different cultures not only from their own cultural background but considering the cultural values of their counterpart and to act accordingly in an intercultural competent way. Given that, the students have gained a greater sensitivity to cultural diver-sity in a business context and have improved their ability to work in multicultural teams and/or do business with suppliers or customers from different parts of the world.

Contents Introduction and Basic Knowledge: concept of culture, cultural identity, perception and interpretation, stereotypes and preju-dices.

Cultural Dimensions as a theoretical framework to compare cul-tures: mainly individualism vs. collectivism, high vs. low power distance, deal- vs. relationship orientation. Focus is on different communication styles (verbal and non-verbal communication).
