227-0085-52L | Projects & Seminars: Satellite Communications Only for Electrical Engineering and Information Technology BSc. Course can only be registered for once. A repeatedly registration in a later semester is not chargeable. | 1 credit | 1P | U. Koch | |
Abstract | The category of "Laboratory Courses, Projects, Seminars" includes courses and laboratories in various formats designed to impart practical knowledge and skills. Moreover, these classes encourage independent experimentation and design, allow for explorative learning and teach the methodology of project work. | ||||
Objective | In the P&S „Satellite Communication“, the participants will gain first insights into wireless communications. The topics link budget and antenna design are discussed. A particular focus lies thereby on applications. | ||||
Content | The students learn how they have to build a wireless link for satellite communications in order to fulfil the technical requirements. Furthermore, the students will learn how to design antennas with the help of practical examples and create their own antenna design. A quiz at the end will allow the students to check the gained know-how. The P&S is offered for 12 participants on four afternoon within the semester. The P&S takes place online and in English language. | ||||
Prerequisites / Notice | We recommend the P&S for students of the third year. | ||||
227-1101-00L | How to Write Scientific Texts Strongly recommended prerequisite for Semester Projects, Bachelor's, and Master Theses at D-ITET (MSc BME, BSc/MSc EEIT, MSc EST and MSc QE). | 0 credits | U. Koch | ||
Abstract | The four hour lecture covers the basics of writing and presenting of scientific work. The focus is on the structure and the main elements of a scientific text rather than the language. Citation rules, good practice of scientific writing and an overview on software tools are part of the training. | ||||
Objective | - Knowledge on structure and content of scientific texts and presentations - Stimulation of a discussion on how to write a scientific text versus an interesting novel - Discussion of the practice of proper citing and critical reflection on plagiarism | ||||
Content | * Topic 1: Structure of Scientific Texts (title, author list, abstract, state-of-the-art, "in this paper" paragraph, scientific part, summary, equations, figures) * Topic 2: Structure of Scientific Presentations * Topic 3: Citation Rules and Citation Software * Topic 4: Guidelines for Research Integrity The lecture will be given in two parts on two afternoons. Some exercises will be built into the lecture. | ||||
