- Recommended prior knowledge
The modul "Grundlagen der Landtechnik" is very much recommend. Futhermore interrest into natural science and technical systems of mechanisation is preferred.
- Knowledge Broadening
Students who successful completed the modul have a wide range of knowledge regarding the technology needed for plant production. They understand the technical complexity of the processes required and are able to apply.
- Knowledge deepening
Students are capable to assess the technical environment in plant production
- Application and Transfer
Students are able to assess the technical requirements in plant production and thus select the appropriate machines.
- Academic Innovation
Students understand the technoloy, are able to evaluate and to apply it.
- Communication and Cooperation
Students are capable to explain the technology in a written or oral presentation, and are able to discuss subjects to a third party.
- Academic Self-Conception / Professionalism
Teached content trains the students to experts in a farming enviroment.
