For information on the duration of the modul, refer to the courses of study in which the module is used.
Students acquire practical skills necessary for informatics in the natural sciences. Students will gain competencies in the handling of informatical or natural scientific problems and zhe solution of these problems in laboratory or with the computer. They practice and develop the skills necessary for planning and carrying out projects on their own. They familiarise with ethical and scientific principles of informatics for the natural sciences.
A topic agreed on by the student and supervisor will form the basis of a practical assignment in the area of informatics in the natural sciences carried out to a large extent independently by the student. A project usually includes software development activities, possibly also the construction of hardware (e.g. integrating sensors or actuators into laboratory settings). As a rule, various sources of information (scientific papers, manuals, data sheets, etc.) are compiled and used for the solution to be found. However, a project can also include the evaluation, investigation or expansion of existing software (and/or hardware) systems. The results of the project are presented and recorded in a written report. The paper serves as scientific documentation of the project.
