Contextual competence in engineering studies
The Centre for Key Competences (ZSK) is the science-oriented institution for contextual competence at the TUM School of Engineering and Design (ED). Our programmes include the curation, coordination and implementation of interdisciplinary engineering qualifications. ED-students receive comprehensive training in ethical and global issues, team and project work, creativity and intercultural competence, gender and diversity, and good scientific practice.
Contextual studies
As part of the contextual studies programme, you have the opportunity to attend courses and modules from other schools, departments or chairs in order to supplement the specialist studies of engineering degree programmes with interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary educational content.
Scientific Work
Studierende der TUM School of Engineering and Design können in diesem Themenbereich verschiedene Angebote zum wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten und Schreiben belegen. Ziel ist immer, die Stärkung der Kompetenzen im wissenschaftlichen Kontext in Bezug auf eigene wissenschaftliche Projekte wie Bachelor-, Semester-, Masterarbeiten.
Project-based learning
Project-based learning at ED promotes practical problem solving and interdisciplinary thinking. Teamwork, communication and self-management strengthen both professional and social skills for everyday working life.
