| product-portfolio | Product creation (during semester) in conjunction with portfolio | 1 | Students are evaluated on the basis of a product, prototype, or artifact that they develop (alone or in a team) as part of the course. The assessment will be evaluated by the instructor(s) based on common quality criteria. This is documented as a portfolio / project report in which the students present their activities in the course and the product.

In doing so, they critically reflect on their own performance and learning success. |
| project | Project (during semester) | 1 | The students carry out a project accompanying the course, thus demonstrating their confident handling of the content taught in the module. This project is documented in a project report that describes the development process and the results. The project with it serves as the basis for the assessment. |
| project-experttalk | Project (during semester) in conjunction with expert talk | 1 | The students are assessed on the basis of a project work, which they carry out during the course and, if necessary, document in the form of a project report describing the development process and the results. In a short, professional discourse with the lecturer, the students show that they can confidently deal with the technical language and the basic concepts of the respective module. |
| project-or-experttalk | Project (during semester) in conjunction with expert talk | 1 | The students are assessed on the basis of a project work, which they carry out during the course and, if necessary, document in the form of a project report describing the development process and the results. Alternatively, the students show in a short, professional discourse with the lecturer that they can confidently deal with the technical language and the basic concepts of the respective module. |
| project-paper-presentation | Project (during semester) in conjunction with a scientific paper and presentation | 1 | Students will be assessed on the basis of a project work which they carry out during the course and through which they demonstrate confident use of the content taught in the module.
