Catalogue data
Abstract | Students develop and build a product from A-Z! They work in teams and independently, learn to structure problems, to identify solutions, system analysis and simulations, as well as presentation and documentation techniques. They build the product with access to a machine shop and state of the art engineering tools (Matlab, Simulink, etc). |
Learning objective | The various objectives of the Focus Project are: - Synthesizing and deepening the theoretical knowledge from the basic courses of the 1. - 4. semester - Team organization, work in teams, increase of interpersonal skills - Independence, initiative, independent learning of new topic contents - Problem structuring, solution identification in indistinct problem definitions, searches of information - System description and simulation - Presentation methods, writing of a document - Ability to make decisions, implementation skills - Workshop and industrial contacts - Learning and recess of special knowledge - Control of most modern engineering tools (Matlab, Simulink, CAD, CAE, PDM) |
Content | Several teams of 4-8 students of the ETH as well as students from other universities realize a product during two semesters. On the basis of a vision and provocative problem definition, all processes of product development are beat down close-to-reality: conception, design, engineering, simulation, draft and production. The teams are coached by experienced staff who gives them the possibility of a unique learning experience. Innovative ideas of the research labs of the ETH, of industrial partners or students are selected and realized by the teams. |
