AIM
The master thesis at Uni Kassel is the first-time students have to develop their design work without the framework of a design studio. The development of the precise topic, workplan and exposé is often a difficult task for students
TOPIC
This seminar is required for students who want to write a master's thesis with EDEK. During the semester, students will conduct preliminary experiments under the supervision of our tutors to formulate their research topics for the official thesis project. As a final outcome, tested research methodologies and a written exposé are expected. Currently, EDEK offers four tracks for Master Thesis Preparation, depending on the candidate's preferences:
- Track A: Topic based on ongoing research at EDEK
- Track B: Technical topic related to robotics or digital fabrication
- Track C: Re:Use material design methodology exploration
- Track D: Individual research topic in digital design and construction
SEMESTERPLAN
Students will have the opportunity to select one of the general topics within our research agenda that will presented in the first meeting. Each student then should develop a specific project title under the chosen topic with the supervision of the appointed tutor(s). This title will be investigated by doing experiments to find a feasible method that will be used in the official thesis project. Every will be discussed with the whole EDEK teaching team by regular monthly presentation by the students.
REQUIREMENTS & INSCRIPTION
Students should have taken at least 1 design studio and/or seminars at EDEK
