Course content
A student project within the scope of modern program-oriented education with a focus on the solution of problems of discrete and continuum mechanics. Under the guidance of a supervisor, the student will solve a simple, level-appropriate, comprehensive problem. Emphasis will be placed on self-study and individual work of the student.
