Usage of methods in student projects

Methods in engineering design enhance development processes what was stated in a lot of research projects. Nevertheless there is a big lack of method implementation in industry. Engineers (mostly) learn applying methods at university. To enhance the use of methods in industry it is necessary to analyze the learning process of students. Therefore in this study several student works were analyzed regarding their use of methods. First a broad analysis was carried out. Afterwards best cases were analyzed and action proposals derived.
