It is based on reality-like assignments, which are solved and worked out by the students themselves. The fundamental steps in product development are trained: ‘Putting down a requirements list - methodical search for solutions - specifying a concept in a specification booklet - drawing sketches of complete machines concepts and of technical details where necessary.’ A final report (Technical File) is required as well as a final presentation of the results in front of student audience.
