Student Projects at the Chair of Lightweight Design
The Chair of Lightweight Design offers topics to students within the framework of the project and final theses to be carried out. If you are interested in the research topics of the chair, you can contact one of the staff members. A preliminary self-research on the topic can help to find a possible suitable topic for the thesis (e.g. student research project or master thesis).
Before assigning one of the topics, it is essential to arrange a personal meeting with the responsible supervisor. Without this interview no topic will be issued!
All papers written at the chair have to be prepared and handed in using the format template (LaTeX) of the Chair of Lightweight Design and Materials. This not only makes it easier for the chair's staff to read and check the work, but at the same time it helps to avoid errors that can be traced back to inadequate formatting of the work.
