Module Cycle
WiSe/SoSe
Learning Content
Work on a more complex project in the field of particle accelerator technology. Depending on the specific problem, measurement aspects, analytical aspects, and simulation aspects will be included.
Please Note
If you are interested in this course, please enroll via TUCaN before the lectures start. An invitation mail to a Kick-Off Meeting in the first week will be sent to the enrolled students via TUCaN.
After the Kick-Off Meeting took place, a registration for the exam in TUCaN is mandatory.
After the course has started, there are no further enrollments possible.
The project is organized as a team work challenge. Therefore, interested students shall jointly register for the course and jointly participate in the kickoff meeting. The team typically consists of three students working on the project.
Current Information
In the WiSe 2024/2025 the project seminar's topic will be “Identification of Transmission Line Parameters”.
