Within the Bachelor's degree programme, three technical explorations with preparation and follow-up work must be completed in order to gain admission to the Master's degree programme.

The aims of the technical exploration are (cf. HÜTTNER (2005): Technik Unterrichten):

• The investigation of the relationship and effect between people and technology
• To uncover problems and deficiencies in the development and application of technology
• Exploring technology in the socio-ecological reference system, in its historical development and in the context of its demonstrable influences on people and nature
• Analysing the relationship and impact between the economics of technology and the ecology of technology
• Understand technical exploration as a subject-specific method of the subject of technology

Participation in the preparation, follow-up and realisation of the technical exploration is mandatory for the certificate for a technical exploration in the subject of technology.

Information on the technical explorations can be obtained by email from the student body. In addition, information about all current or upcoming excursions is sent via the student body's mailing list. (If you are not on the mailing list, you can subscribe to it. To do this, enter "Fachschaft Technik" in the StudIP search function and register for the event).

Students with special education as their first subject can complete the three explorations throughout their degree programme (Bachelor's and Master's).

A report must be prepared for each technical exploration. More detailed information on the form and content of the reports can be found in the respective preparation programme.
