Students do a literature search, write a scientific report, and make a presentation about a selected topic that is in scope of the focus of the curriculum. The findings of this work are presented in a written report and an oral presentation.

Course Structure

The course comprises a series of lectures and a practical part. Lectures will be held on a weekly basis (see above for time and location). In the practical part, students explore reliability and cost parameters of a little case study by means of a modeling tool.

An introduction to the practical part will be given in one of the lectures in the second half of the semester. In that lecture, the practical assignments will be distributed. Course participants will be asked to form groups of two or three students that cooperate on the assignment. They are expected to document their work and the results of the assignment in a lab protocol, and to submit this lab protocol at the end of the semester.

Registration for the practical part of the course is not required. Student are automatically registered by submitting their lab protocol.

Grading

Grades are based on the scores for the oral exam (75%) and for the lab protocol (25%).
