| Original study plan |
Bachelor's programme Polymer Engineering and Technologies 2022W |
| Objectives |
The first PBL project is intended to enable our newcomers to analyze a concrete plastics-related task in a team of up to 6 students, accompanied by a professor or lecturer of plastics engineering, in a low-threshold way, to define and work through individual subtasks and finally to present a comprehensible solution as a team.
|
| Subject |
With this first PBL project, we want to actively strengthen the intrinsic motivation of our newcomers right at the beginning of their studies, in accordance with the theory of self-determination according to Deci and Ryan, by actively promoting the psychological needs for "autonomy, social inclusion and experience of competence".
In addition, social skills as well as personal skills are trained through practical engagement with the set topic and independent group work.
In addition, the students can receive short impulses from teachers from the university or experts from industry, supplemented by excursions to industrial companies.
In addition, small practical units can be completed, e.g. at simple plastics processing equipment, in order to simulate a simple recycling cycle and to derive challenges for mechanical recycling from this.
