Consult Appendix A
- Description of the level of learning outcomes for each qualifications cycle, according to the Qualifications Framework of the European Higher Education Area
- Descriptors for Levels 6, 7 & 8 of the European Qualifications Framework for Lifelong Learning and Appendix B
- Guidelines for writing Learning Outcomes
The aim of the course is to gradually familiarize students with the technical language of Mechanical Engineering and introduce them to the specialized terminology used in their field of study.
Via the analysis and elaboration of specialized technical texts that present an increasing difficulty, students are taught complex grammar and syntactic phenomena of German as a foreign language and German for Specific Purposes.
General Competences
Taking into consideration the general competences that the degree-holder must acquire (as these appear in the Diploma Supplement and appear below), at which of the following does the course aim?
Search for, analysis and synthesis of data and information, with the use of the necessary technology
Adapting to new situations
Decision-making
Working independently
Team work
Working in an international environment
Working in an interdisciplinary environment
Production of new research ideas
Project planning and management
Respect for difference and multiculturalism
Respect for the natural environment
Showing social, professional and ethical responsibility and sensitivity to gender issues
Criticism and self-criticism
Production of free, creative and inductive thinking
……
Others…

By the end of this course students will have developed the following skills (general abilities):
1. Ability to exhibit knowledge and understanding of the studied concepts, theories and applications which are related to Mechanical Engineering.
2. Study skills needed for continuing academic and professional development related to English as a Foreign Language and English for General Academic and Specific Purposes.
