Fachhochschule Rosenheim
Vom 14. Januar 2015
In der Fassung der 1. Änderung vom 18. Mai 2016
Aufgrund von Art. 13 Abs. 1 Satz 2, Abs. 2 Satz 2, Art. 43 Abs. 5 und 61 Abs. 2 des Bayerischen Hochschulge-
setzes (BayHSchG) erlässt die Hochschule Rosenheim folgende Satzung:
§1
Zweck der Studien- und Prüfungsordnung
Diese Studien- und Prüfungsordnung dient der Ausfüllung und Ergänzung der Rahmenprüfungsordnung für die
Fachhochschulen in Bayern (RaPO) vom 17. Oktober 2001 und der Allgemeinen Prüfungsordnung der Hoch-
schule Rosenheim (APO) vom 24. Januar 2011 in der jeweils gültigen Fassung.
§2
Studienziele
(1) Der Masterstudiengang Ingenieurwissenschaften ist als anwendungsorientierter Studiengang konzipiert. Ziel
ist die Vertiefung und Spezialisierung von Kenntnissen in den Ingenieurwissenschaften und verwandten Gebie-
ten auf wissenschaftlicher Grundlage.
(2) Das konsekutive Masterstudium der Ingenieurwissenschaften soll Studierende auf anspruchsvolle ingenieur-
fachliche Tätigkeiten und einen schnellen Einstieg in Projekt- und Führungsverantwortung im technischen Be-
reich vorbereiten, insbesondere in international operierenden Wirtschaftsunternehmen. Die internationale Aus-
richtung kommt dadurch zum Ausdruck, dass die Lehrveranstaltungen des Studiengangs weitestgehend in Eng-
lisch angeboten werden.
(3) Im elektrotechnisch-/maschinenbau-fachlichen Bereich soll die Qualifikation der Studierenden auf dem Ge-
biet mathematisch-naturwissenschaftlicher Grundlagen sowie in wichtigen applikationsorientierten Gebieten
vertieft und durch eine interdisziplinäre Betrachtungsweise das Verständnis von Systemzusammenhängen ver-
bessert werden, insbesondere in den Fachgebieten Automatisierungstechnik und/oder Kommunikationstechnik
und/oder Mechatronik und/oder Maschinenbau und/oder Kunststofftechnik. Durch die Möglichkeit zur Wahl der
Studienschwerpunkte Automatisierungstechnik (AUT), Kommunikationstechnik (COM), Mechatronik (MEC),
Maschinenbau (MEN) und Kunststofftechnologie (PEN) bietet sich den Studierenden die Chance, das Studium
entsprechend den persönlichen Neigungen und Berufswünschen zu gestalten.
(4) Neben einer Vertiefung der ingenieurwissenschaftlichen Qualifikationen sollen im Studium auch übergreifen-
de Kompetenzen wie Teamfähigkeit, interkulturelle Kommunikationsfähigkeit und Englisch-Sprachkompetenz
gefördert werden. Dazu dient im vorliegenden Studiengang insbesondere das in Gruppenarbeit durchgeführte
Master-Projekt, bei dem in einer möglichst realitätsnahen Projektsituation die Methodenkompetenzen zur orga-
nisatorischen Bewältigung komplexer Aufgaben sowie die Fähigkeit, in Gruppen effektiv zusammenzuarbeiten,
trainiert werden.
§3
Zugangsvoraussetzungen
(1) Voraussetzung für den Zugang zum Masterstudium ist ein Hochschulabschluss als Bachelor der Elektro-
und Informationstechnik oder Mechatronik oder Maschinenbau oder Kunststofftechnik oder verwandter Gebiete
oder ein in Deutschland oder im Ausland erworbener Abschluss, der einem solchen Hochschulabschluss
gleichwertig ist. Dabei ist die Gesamtnote "gut" oder besser erforderlich. Über die Gleichwertigkeit von Hoch-
schulabschlüssen und die Gleichwertigkeit sonstiger Abschlüsse nach Satz 1 und 2 entscheidet die Prüfungs-
kommission unter Beachtung des Art. 63 Absatz 1 BayHSchG.
Prof. Dr. Norbert Seliger 5

4 Sample Study Plans

The following pages describe sample study plans for the specialization in Automation & Control, Com-
munication Technolgy, Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering and Plastics Engineering.
Sample study plans for both full time and part time students are provided.
These sample study plans indicate suggestions for course selection according to the specialization. It
is recommended to consider these suggestions in order to successfully graduate from the master study
course.
The master project is usually starts at the end of the first semester.
The master thesis is usually starts at the end of the second semester.
The plans here assume that a student starts at summer term. However, if the student starts at winter
term, just simply exchange semester 1 with semester 2.
The order of semesters may be changed if necessary as course contents in all three semesters are
independent of each other. Please note that courses are typically held once per year, i.e. either in the
spring/summer term or in the fall/winter term.
Spring/Summer Term:
Lecture Period: March 15th - approx. July 7th .
Fall/Winter Term:
Lecture Period: October 1st - approx. January 20th .
The examination period in the winter semester is from about January 25th until February 15th , the
examination period in the summer semester is typically from about July 5th until July 25th .

1The objective of these guidelines

This document serves as a guideline for preparing final theses (dissertations), i.e. Diplom theses,
Bachelor’s theses and Master's theses. It supplements and expands on the obligations arising
from the legal requirements for theses. In cases of doubt, the legal requirements take precedence
over these guidelines.
2Information for final theses
2.1Legal requirements
2.1.1Procedure
•Before starting the thesis, students must apply for their topic to be issued. Topics can be found
at various sources, including http://jobboerse.fh-rosenheim.de/. Students can also apply for
approval of their own topic, which is derived from an industrial scenario, for example. For this
purpose, the "Application for the Issue of a Thesis Topic" form is available on the university
website. This form must be filled out in full, signed by both the first and second examiner, the
student, as well as the external company supervisor if the thesis is externally-supervised, and
submitted to the Student Secretariat. Incomplete applications or applications which have not
been signed by all relevant parties will not be accepted! The Student Secretariat will forward
the completed form to the Examination Committee. Students receive their approval (or
rejection) notification by e-mail. Please write your current e-mail address on the form!!
•After receiving the required approval, students can start preparing their thesis. The thesis must
be completed by the deadline specified on the approval notification. A final presentation is
usually made.
•The finished thesis, together with the completed "Record form for theses", must be submitted
to the Examinations Office on time.
•If the topic needs to be changed, please use the form "Antrag auf Themenänderung”
(Application for a change of topic). To apply for a possible extension of the time limit, please
use the form "Antrag auf Fristverlängerung" (Application to extend the deadline). Extending the
time limit may only be approved due to circumstances beyond the student’s control, and must be
applied for in a timely manner.
2.1.2Legal regulations that are relevant to conducting

examinations
There are requirements prescribed by examination law for theses. They specify the criteria for
conducting and writing a thesis, and they must be met in order for the thesis to be accepted and
evaluated as a final thesis for a degree programme. Table 1 contains a summary of these
requirements.
Table 1 Specific legal requirements for final theses

2.1.3Copyright law, confidentiality, publication and blocking

Copyrights for a final thesis lie primarily with the author. These include decisions on the right to
publish, legal protection and economic exploitation of the thesis.
Final theses do not have to be published. However, the author of a thesis generally has the
option to publish and commercially exploit this thesis (via thesis agencies, for example). In
accordance with the German Act on Copyright and Related Rights (Urheberrechtsgesetz,
UrhG4), the author of a final thesis, upon completion of his/her thesis, acquires sole copyright
and generally the resulting rights of use, such as publication (Section 12, UrhG), distribution
(Section 17, UrhG), reproduction (Section 16, UrhG), online use, and so on - i.e. all rights that
affect non-commercial or commercial use.
5
The final thesis is simultaneously part of a degree programme. The requirements for such a
thesis which are set out in the Bavarian Higher Education Act and in the examination
regulations must be fulfilled if the thesis is to be recognised as an examination. This especially
includes the right and obligation of the university that the thesis is viewed, treated and stored by
examiners and administrative offices for examination and documentation purposes.
In the case of theses which are brought in by industry (“external theses”), the companies
sometimes demand confidentiality agreements from the university or the examiners. Neither the
university nor the examiners are obliged to conclude these agreements. These agreements are
generally rejected because confirmation is often demanded from examiners which clashes with
their work obligations or which the examiners cannot guarantee because it concerns areas of the
university that are not within the examiner’s field of expertise (e.g. university administration).
2.2Information on conducting a thesis
2.2.1Finding a topic
In general, every student can propose his/her own topic. The university’s “Application for the
Issue of a Thesis Topic” form must be used for this. The student is responsible for finding an
examiner who is prepared to supervise this topic. Neither the examination candidate nor the
industrial company has a right to be issued with a certain topic.
The thesis is always completed in an institute at the university. In exceptional cases, the thesis
may be completed outside the university if it is assured that the thesis can be supervised there by
the examiners from the university and if the Examination Committee has given its approval.
While the final thesis is being completed, neither an industrial company nor any other external
institute/person can be granted the right to influence the topic or contents of the thesis. In terms
of examination law, proposals and initiatives in this direction are considered to be non-binding
suggestions for the university supervisors or the examination candidates.
2.2.2Finding an examiner
In cases where students choose their own topic, they are responsible for finding two examiners
for the "first review" and the "second review" (Section 19 RaPo) for the topic formulation and
supervision of their thesis. The examiners are formally approved upon application by the
student, through their respective Examination Committee ("registration").
Only those people authorised in terms of Section 62 of the Bavarian Higher Education Act
(BayHSchG) or Section 3 of the General Examination Regulations (Rahmenprüfungsordnung,
RaPO) may serve as examiners (professors, university lecturers, as well those permitted by the
relevant regulations of the State Ministry for Science.
Under the current legislation, contact persons for the students in companies ("company
supervisors") are not examiners and are not entitled to influence the evaluation of the thesis.
2.2.3Processing
2.2.3.1Comments about the scientific character

Diplom theses should
"show that the student is capable of independently processing an issue in their field of study on a scientific
basis" (Section 35 (1) RaPO).
Similar requirements for Bachelor’s and Master’s theses are prescribed by the university’s basic
regulations:
"The final thesis should demonstrate that students are capable of independently processing an issue in their
field of study on a scientific and/or artistic basis." 5
6
In this context, the scientific character means creating new knowledge, or systematically
applying existing knowledge.
New knowledge is created by formulating a hypothesis (plausible statement) regarding an
unresolved question, and examining its accuracy during the course of the thesis 6.
Existing knowledge is applied by systematically using current knowledge to tackle a scientific
question. In particular, this requires careful research of the relevant literature for usable
findings, as well as systematic, well-planned investigation using verified methods and
equipment.
In contrast, the following do not constitute scientific work:
 working through specified instructions, even if these arose due to labour-law

hierarchies, popular opinion, consensus processes or majority decisions;
 random experiments, on the off chance of finding something out.
Scientific work is also characterised by reproducibility. This requires careful documentation of

the work carried out, which enables subsequent researchers or sceptics to repeat the process. If
the same results are achieved, this is considered to be scientific confirmation. Written theses
which, for confidentiality purposes, summarise the description of the work carried out to such
an extent that the investigations cannot be reproduced, are unable to meet the criterion of
reproducibility, and thus do not meet the criterion of scientific character. They are not suitable
as final theses.
2.2.3.2Researching the state of science and technology

Which usable findings that are relevant to the task are already available in science and
technology? This requires a literature review of specialist books and scientific journals, for
example with the help of a database.
This can prevent the later - unknowing - rediscovery of existing knowledge from laborious
experimental work ("reinventing the wheel"). It can also prevent following paths that others
have already identified as futile.
Conventional literature research requires carefully combing through relevant scientific journals
and books, which can be best accomplished in good libraries. They contain the individual
volumes of scientific journals in bound form. They usually include a keyword index, which is
helpful for quickly finding articles which are relevant to the topic. Thorough research, the old-
fashioned way, usually requires several working days.
Database-driven literature research is faster. Using a database system (such as STN via
www.fiz-karlsruhe.de) can search the entire scientific literature of the last few decades for
certain keywords within minutes. The results are summaries of the books and journals
discovered (author, title, brief overview of contents (abstract), specific sources, details of the
language of the publication). For normal users, the cost of database research like this is around
several hundred Euros, depending on the volume of data downloaded. This may seem
expensive, but appears less expensive if you consider that comparably-thorough conventional
literature research requires a week’s work, which may easily amount to several thousand Euros,
including labour costs.
Rosenheim University of Applied Sciences has reduced-rate academic access to databases, so

that no research costs arise for final theses or project work.
Here you will find a link to the university’s free database search:
http://www.fh-rosenheim.de/598+M5c7af35cbf1.html
Specially designed for the technical degree programmes, we have an attractive access to
(literature) databases:
7
http://www.fh-rosenheim.de/599+M5fd39927e12.html
Sources which prove to be interesting on closer examination can be obtained as an inter-library
loan (books) or as a copy (journal articles) through the library at Rosenheim University of
Applied Sciences.
Journal articles can also be obtained very quickly via the online service Subito
(http://www.subito-doc.de). This is subject to a charge. Typical costs are in the range of a few
Euros per journal article. The requested articles are delivered by e-mail as a PDF document.
The resulting texts can then be read and searched for usable findings.
2.2.3.3Planning your own work

The topic is set, the current state of science and technology has been determined: now you can
plan the work to be carried out.
Using project management methods is recommended for the planning7. They enable you to
estimate whether the objective can be achieved with the available resources (especially time,
possibly also money, availability of machines/etc., support by qualified staff).
When conducting experiments, an experimental design is a good idea. If the effect of various
parameters, possibly also in different quantitative increments, is to be investigated, it is easy for
conflicts to arise between accuracy and reliability on the one hand, and the necessary time and
effort on the other. This not only applies to practical experiments, but also to computer
simulations. One particular scientific field provides practical methods for achieving the highest
possible amount of results with as little effort as possible. This is known as Design of
Experiment, or DoE. For more information on this topic, please see the section on Further
Literature 8, 9, 10.
Example: A complete experimental design for six factors at two levels, for example, would require 2 6 = 64 trial runs.
For economic reasons in cases like this, fractional factorial designs like 2 6–3 or 27–4 are often used. The formula 26–3
used here signifies that out of the total possible number of 26 trial runs, only a fraction will be performed, so 1/8 (=
2–3) (64 / 8 = 8). Orthogonal array testing is often used to select the eight trial runs in the fractional factorial design.
2.2.3.4Conducting your own work

Your own work is conducted according to the plan.
When carrying out experimental work, complying with the relevant safety regulations is
advisable.
Likewise, it is also advisable to thoroughly document the work, in order to later be able to
understand what has been done and achieved, and under which conditions. A good example can
be found in the test reports in accordance with the testing norms, for which all test norms
include requirements.
2.2.3.5Evaluating your own work

At the end, you must evaluate your own work, in order to obtain statements related to the
objective of the thesis. What, for example, do the experimental results say regarding the
objective?
Measurements typically require subsequent processing or analysis with statistical methods. In
general, measurements are investigations of representative samples, in which systematic trends
are mixed with random influences, for example through the selection of the individual samples.
Statistical methods enable us to verify which significant conclusions can be made. From a
professional point of view, it is negligent to declare that two batches or two procedures are
different, simply because random samples taken from them exhibit different average values. A
8
good introduction to the methods of statistics is provided by Lehn and Wegmann11, for example.
2.2.4Drafting the written documentation
2.2.4.1Proposals for structures

A distinction has to be made between the work mentioned above and the written documentation,
even though both are often referred to by the same name, e.g. "Diplom thesis" or "Bachelor’s
thesis". This section deals with writing the thesis, which is then formally submitted to the
university for evaluation, for example as a "Diplom thesis" or "Master's thesis".
A final thesis should always contain the following elements:
 a clearly formulated objective;
 an overview of the current state of science and technology regarding this objective,
documented with systematic, careful notes on the cited literature;
 a description of the own work conducted, with sufficient details so that it can be
reproduced by others (reproducibility is a key characteristic of scientific work);
 a description of the results from the work you conducted;
 a discussion of your results, regarding the question of whether - or to what extent - the
objective could be achieved;
 an introduction explaining the significance of the topic and a summary round the thesis
off.
Appendix A contains an example of a suitable structure.
The individual points of the structure can be further subdivided if necessary. Complementary
subdivisions are ideal, because they completely cover the aspect being investigated in a logical
manner, for example:
3.1 Existing knowledge of joining processes
3.1.1 Processes with heating
3.1.2 Processes without heating
Formal guidance on the structure of texts is provided in the standard DIN 1421 "Documentation
- numbering of divisions and subdivisions in written documents"12.
There is no need to include a chapter presenting companies which may have suggested the topic
of the thesis (e.g. details of the company history, profile of the company founder, market
position), unless there is a factual necessity to do so. Just as the companies don’t adorn their
own technical publications (e.g. operating instructions, technical manuals) with this prose, so
too has it no place in the final thesis for a scientific engineering degree.
Use of company logos should also be avoided, to prevent suspicion that the final thesis is a
company document.
In contrast, a mandatory component of Diplom theses is a declaration by the student, in

accordance with Section 35 (7) of the General Examination Regulations (RaPO), "that he/she
wrote the thesis independently, has not submitted it elsewhere for examination purposes, has not
used any sources or assistance other than that specified, and that literal and analogous
quotations have been attributed as such."
9
2.2.4.2Layout
2.2.4.2.1General notes
The number and type of copies of the thesis to be submitted is specified in the General
Examination Regulations of Rosenheim University of Applied Sciences (Section 19 (7) Item 3,
Allgemeine Prüfungsordnung der Hochschule Rosenheim): "Two printed and bound copies of
the completed final thesis must be submitted to the Examinations Office. Spiral binding is not
permitted for final theses. In addition, the thesis must be submitted in the form of a single PDF
file on a data carrier. This data carrier must be a CD/DVD in ISO-9660 format."
In addition, many examiners also appreciate an electronically-readable copy of your thesis.
Final theses must be written on white A4 paper.
The text must be in block letters. As an exception, mathematical formulas can also be written by
hand.
The individual sheets of paper must be numbered consecutively in the header or footer. The
page numbering only begins with the text of the first chapter of the thesis. It is carried out with
ascending whole numbers (1, 2, 3, etc.). The preceding pages, which include the table of
contents or the list of symbols, abbreviations and indexes used, may be numbered with Roman
numerals (I, II, III, etc.).
The text margins should be as follows from the edge of the page:
from the left edge approx. 30 mm (from edge of binding)
from the right edge approx. 20 mm
from the top edge approx. 30 mm (due to the header)
from the bottom edge approx. 20 mm (approx. 30 mm if there is a footer)
header to the top edge approx. 15 mm
To achieve a uniform format throughout the text body (of the thesis) without any special effort,
the most practical method is essentially to set everything aligned to the left, i.e. everything starts
uniformly at a distance of 30 mm from the left edge of the page. Different indentations are much
more difficult to apply consistently over longer text passages; in addition, the effort required for
major indentations is unnecessarily extensive.
Depending on the individual preference, the thesis can be partly or wholly printed in block style
(justification).
A sensible font size for standard text is 10 pt to 12 pt.
The format of the written version of the thesis (for example, the type of binding), as well as the
number of copies to be submitted, is stipulated by the respective Study and Examination
Regulations.
2.2.4.2.2Title page
The title page must include the following information
 Name of the author;
 Topic of the thesis;
 Designation of the type of thesis (e.g. "Bachelor's thesis for the degree programme in
Production Engineering at Rosenheim University of Applied Sciences");
 The date of submission;
 The names of the two examiners appointed by the faculty’s Examination Committee for
this thesis (examiner, not supervisor, is the correct term, see chapter 2.1.1)
10
2.2.4.2.3Dealing with images and tables
Good images or schematic diagrams are often far more efficient than verbal descriptions. If
possible, numerical results should also be translated into images.
There are two possibilities for arranging images and tables:
 they can either be placed in close proximity to the passage of text, in which reference is
made to them, similar to in a textbook; or
 they can be grouped together in a separate chapter, “Images and Tables”, in which first
all the images and then all the tables are presented, sorted according to their respective
numbers. This option is recommended if the same images or tables are referred to at
several points in the text, to minimise the search effort.
Tables are labelled above, images below, always with a system of continuous numbering. The
numbering either runs consistently through the whole thesis (e.g. Image 1, Image 2, etc.), or
chapter-by-chapter (e.g. for Chapter 3: Image 3.1, Image 3.2, Image 3.3, etc. or Image 3-1,
Image 3-2, etc.).
Examples:
Image 1 View of the component from above
Table 1 Results of the tensile test
If images or tables are taken from literature, then the image or table labels must contain a
reference to the literature source (see below).
2.2.4.2.4Guidelines for citing literature
Everything incorporated in the written documentation that is acquired from other works,
including text passages, images, tables or ideas, must be marked with a reference to the source.
In extreme cases, not citing external knowledge may constitute an act of deception in terms of
the General Examination Regulations13 . The consequence would then be evaluation of the
thesis as "not sufficient".
Source references (also known as literature references) must only be listed for the text passages,
images, tables or ideas that are included in the written version. An extremely short list of
literature leads to suspicion that the thesis was prepared without considering the existing
knowledge contained in scientific literature, and that the thesis may have "reinvented the
wheel".
The citations must be numbered sequentially throughout the text, for example using the
reference function of the word-processing programme (Insert/Reference/Footnote/Endnote).
Whole numbers must be used.
Examples for including the source references (= literature references) in the main text:
"According to Martens /14/, structural steel is a ferromagnetic material ...” or
"Shelton and Ashby14 reported that they had developed low melting point, lead-free solders, which meet the
requirements of the electronics industry.” or
“Technical approaches for wireless communication have been known for a long time. Marconi already
reported about experiments in 1895, in which he could transmit signals over a distance of 1.5 km [14]."

If the author is not known, their name in the source is generally replaced by the abbreviation
"N. N.".
2.2.4.2.5Appropriate language and writing
The text should be formally correct, as short as possible, but nevertheless detailed and clear
enough so that typically-educated professionals can follow the discourse.
In scientific literature, the first-person “I” and the “we” forms are not generally used. It is
customary to use the passive form (e.g.: "The machine was used at an ambient temperature of
23°C." or: “Three samples were investigated from each item.")
In scientific texts, technical terms which are already defined or generally established should be
used consistently in the same context. The beautiful variations of expression found in literary
prose texts complicate the understanding of scientific and technical texts, especially for
translations.
Terms or abbreviations that are not generally known should be explained in the initial
introduction to the thesis. No abbreviations should be used in titles or headings.
2.2.4.2.6The purpose and design of appendices
Appendices are generally unnecessary. Important contents belong in the main text of the actual
thesis. Unimportant contents have no place in the final thesis at all. Appendices usually arise
12
from a problem distinguishing between what is important and what is not.
If appendices appear unavoidable, they must be attached to the actual thesis. A separate
appendix is used for each individual aspect. Each appendix must be labelled with its own letter.
Examples:
Appendix A: Compilation of all photos that were taken in the framework of this thesis
Appendix B: Collection of safety data sheets of all substances handled during the course
of this thesis.
As described above, appendixes are often actually dispensable. Instead of including all photos in
Appendix A, a selection of photos could be presented at a suitable point in the main body of the
thesis which are typically representative of all the other images. - Instead of including all the
safety data sheets in Appendix B, the literature list could include the correct reference to the
place of discovery, e.g. page on the Internet. The interested reader can then obtain this
information themselves, if necessary.

Appendix A
Sample structure
1. Introduction
Overall context, containing the subject. Introduction to the objective; what makes the topic a problem? What are the benefits of
solving the problem?
2. Objective of the thesis

Short and precise specification of the objective (task formulation) of the thesis.
"The objective of this thesis is to find out/ resolve ..... ." Possibly a short (!) description of the ways and means to be used in order to
achieve the objective of the thesis.
3. The state of science and technology

Which usable findings that are relevant to the task are already available in science and technology? Including literature analysis from
relevant books and scientific journals, possibly with the help of a database; chapters should be sub-divided into important individual
aspects; when describing facts, specify their sources; quotes must be consecutively numbered; related literature references are in
Chapter 9. Not usable: verbal tips from 'old-timers', claims not supported by sources.
4. Own research conducted

This chapter contains a description of the work carried out to achieve the objective. The purpose of providing this information is
traceability and reproducibility of the experiments. Reproducibility is a criterion of scientific work. It must therefore always be
possible to repeat the experiments at a later point in time, using the descriptions here of the work carried out.
The typical contents of this chapter are: a description of substances and devices used (names of materials, trade name, manufacturer,
location / device type, trade name, manufacturer, location); sample preparation; experimental setups, description of the investigation
methods (norms?) and test equipment (type, trade name, manufacturer, location, accuracy).
A description of the experiments conducted on the basis of a predetermined plan (design) of experiments (experimental matrix,
possibly in the form of a table); where applicable, explanation of the reasons why limiting to certain selected experiments was
necessary.
5. Results of the own research
Specifying the results of the experiments with a brief description; where possible, numerical values summarised in tables, with
important results also reflected in images; no discussion or evaluation of the results, as a clear distinction must be made between
objective measurements and subjective interpretations; where there are a large number of similar images, include only one
representative example - the rest can be included in an appendix, if at all.
6. Discussion of the results and outlook

Interpretation of the results based on aspects of the objective; what can be ascertained from the results with regard to the objective?
How do the results fit in with the established body of knowledge reflected in the literature? How reliable are the conclusions? What
remains unresolved? Do the results give rise to new questions?
7. Summary
Brief overview of the whole thesis (one to two pages): What is the higher-level context? What is the problem and how significant is
it? What is the precise objective? What are the ways and means of investigation? What are the results in relation to the objective?
8...Images and Tables

Good pictures or schematic diagrams are often far more efficient than verbal descriptions; extensive numerical results should also be
translated into images, as far as possible.
There are two basic alternatives for arranging images and tables:
•Images and tables can be grouped together in a separate chapter: first the images, then the tables, presented in numerical order. This
is helpful if the same images and tables are referred to in several different parts of the text (for example, in Chapters 5 and 6),
because it makes searching for the images easier.
•Alternatively: images and tables can be inserted directly into the main text, at the point where they are referenced for the first time.
This method is helpful because of the close proximity between image and text, but only if the majority of the images and/or tables are
just referred to once in the text.
9. Literature
Systematic list of literature cited in the text - especially in Chapter 3; only literature actually cited in the text should be included here;
an extremely short list of literature leads to suspicion that the thesis was prepared without considering the existing knowledge
contained in scientific literature, and that the thesis may have "reinvented the wheel".
