Wussten Sie, dass ...

• … Sie den Wiederholungsversuch Ihrer Abschlussarbeit innerhalb von drei Semestern anmelden müssen, wenn Sie den ersten Versuch nicht bestanden haben?

Bevor Sie Ihre Abschlussarbeit anmelden können, prüfen wir im ZPA zunächst, ob Sie die Zulassungsvoraussetzungen erfüllen. In den meisten Studiengängen bestätigen wir dies auf dem Anmeldebogen, der anschließend von Ihrer Prüferin beziehungsweise Ihrem Prüfer weiter ausgefüllt wird.

Den Anmeldebogen erhalten Sie, sofern er nicht auf der Fakultäts- oder Fachgruppen-Webseite zum Download bereitsteht, von Ihrer zuständigen Sachbearbeitung hier im ZPA per E-Mail. Wenden Sie sich dafür bitte an Ihre zuständige Ansprechperson . Diese erklärt Ihnen auch gerne, wie die Anmeldung in Ihrem Studiengang genau abläuft.

Nachdem wir die Zulassungsvoraussetzungen geprüft haben, lassen wir entweder Ihnen oder dem betreuenden Lehrstuhl den Anmeldebogen per E-Mail zukommen. Das ist in den verschiedenen Studiengängen unterschiedlich geregelt. Wird der Bogen in Ihrem Studiengang direkt von uns an den Lehrstuhl geschickt, teilen Sie uns bitte die notwendigen Kontaktinformationen im Vorfeld mit. In einigen Studiengängen muss der Anmeldebogen zusätzlich auch noch vom Prüfungsausschuss oder der Berufsfeldbetreuerin beziehungsweise dem Berufsfeldbetreuer unterschrieben werden.

Sobald uns der Anmeldebogen ausgefüllt und unterschrieben vorliegt, melden wir die Arbeit in RWTHonline an. Dort können Sie sie anschließend in der Applikation „Meine Leistungen“ einsehen. Ihr spätestes Abgabedatum wird ebenfalls dort veröffentlicht.

In den meisten Studiengängen erfolgt die Abgabe der Abschlussarbeit bei uns im ZPA. Ob dies auch für Ihren Studiengang gilt, können Sie Ihrer studiengang- beziehungsweise fachspezifischen Prüfungsordnung entnehmen, die Sie in den Amtlichen Bekanntmachungen finden. In der Regel enthält der Paragraph „Annahme und Bewertung der Bachelorarbeit“ beziehungsweise „Annahme und Bewertung der Masterarbeit“ diese Information.

Bitte reichen Sie folgendes ein:

• die in Ihrer studiengang- beziehungsweise fachspezifischen Prüfungsordnung vorgegebene Anzahl an gedruckten und gebundenen Exemplaren
• gegebenenfalls Datenträger mit digitaler Version Ihrer Arbeit
• eine separate (das heißt nicht eingebundene) Eidesstattliche Versicherung
• gegebenenfalls Antrag auf Logoverwendung

Sollte Ihre Abgabe nicht vollständig sein, können wir Ihre Arbeit nicht an Ihre Prüferinnen und Prüfer weiterleiten. Bis Sie die fehlenden Unterlagen nachgereicht haben, verbleiben die Arbeiten daher so lange bei uns im ZPA.

Ihnen stehen vier Wege der Abgabe zur Verfügung:

Sprechstunde

Wenn Sie Ihre Arbeit persönlich bei uns abgeben möchten, steht Ihnen dafür unsere Sprechstunde zur Verfügung. Bitte buchen Sie einen Termin über das Termintool . Bitte beachten Sie, dass wir Ihre Arbeit auf jeden Fall per Hauspost an Ihre Prüferinnen und Prüfer schicken werden. Eine Mitnahme und persönliche Abgabe bei Ihren Prüferinnen und Prüfern ist nicht möglich.

Fristenbriefkasten

Rund um die Uhr können Sie Ihre Abschlussarbeit über den Fristenbriefkasten einreichen. Das Datum der Abgabe wird dabei genau festgehalten. Bitte verpacken Sie Ihre Arbeiten in einem oder mehreren Umschlägen und geben Sie als Adressaten das ZPA sowie Ihre Sachbearbeiterin beziehungsweise Ihren Sachbearbeiter an. Bitte beachten Sie, dass besonders umfangreiche Arbeiten gegebenenfalls in einem Umschlag nicht durch den Briefschlitz passen. Nutzen Sie dann bitte mehrere Umschläge, die Sie alle wie oben beschrieben beschriften. Der Fristenbriefkasten befindet sich, wenn Sie vor dem Hauptgebäude stehen, an dessen rechter Seite, etwa 20 Meter hinter dem Eingang zum Bistro unter einem Glasdach. Eine Wegbeschreibung finden Sie in diesem Video .

Sie können uns Ihre Abschlussarbeiten auch auf dem Postweg zukommen lassen. Bitte verpacken Sie Ihre Arbeiten dann in einem oder mehreren geeigneten Umschlägen und adressieren Sie sie an Ihre zuständige Sachbearbeiterin beziehungsweise Ihren zuständigen Sachbearbeiter . Bitte beachten Sie unbedingt, dass bei der Prüfung der fristgerechten Abgabe das Eingangsdatum gilt und nicht der Poststempel. Planen Sie die Postlaufzeit daher mit ein.

Digitale Abgabe

Seit dem 24. August 2022 läuft der Pilotbetrieb einer Anwendung für die digitale Abgabe von Abschlussarbeiten (DivA). Studierende der Pilotstudiengänge reichen ihre Abschlussarbeit digital ein. Informationen zur Form der digitalen Abgabe und zu Übergangsfristen können Sie Ihrer studiengangspezifischen Prüfungsordnung in den Amtlichen Bekanntmachungen entnehmen.

Bitte beachten Sie unbedingt: Zur Wahrung der Abgabefrist ist die deutsche Zeitzone (MEZ) maßgeblich!

Wenn Sie Ihre Abschlussarbeit digital einreichen, bitten wir Sie Folgendes zu beachten:

• Wenn Sie für Ihr Deckblatt ein RWTH-Logo verwenden möchten, gelten weiterhin die Vorschriften des Corporate Designs und es muss ein Antrag auf Logoverwendung hochgeladen werden. Weitere Informationen sowie den Antrag finden Sie auf der Webseite Logoverwendung .
• Der Titel der eingereichten Arbeit muss mit dem übereinstimmen, unter dem Sie die Arbeit angemeldet haben. Sollte eine Titeländerung notwendig sein, beantragen Sie diese bitte frühzeitig beim zuständigen Prüfungsausschuss, damit der Titel vor Ihrer Abgabe noch vom ZPA geändert werden kann. Bitte beachten Sie, dass in der Regel der Prüfer beziehungsweise die Prüferin dem Antrag auf Titeländerung zustimmen muss.

Bekomme ich eine schriftliche Bestätigung, dass ich meine Abschlussarbeit eingereicht habe?

Nein, die erfolgte Abgabe tragen wir aber in RWTHonline ein. Dort können Sie das Abgabedatum dann auch unter „Meine Leistungen“ einsehen.

Muss ich zur Anmeldung meiner Masterarbeit den Modulbaustein „Wissenschaftliche Integrität“ erfolgreich abgelegt haben?

Ja, der Modulbaustein „Wissenschaftliche Integrität“ ist gemäß der Übergreifenden Prüfungsordnungen für alle Studierenden, die sich zum Wintersemester 2020/21 oder später in einen Masterstudiengang eingeschrieben haben, Voraussetzung für die Zulassung zur Masterarbeit.

Bei diesem Modulbaustein handelt es sich um ein reines Selbstlern-Onlineformat, das zeitlich flexibel und selbstgesteuert durchlaufen wird. Alle relevanten Informationen und Materialien finden sich im zugehörigen RWTHmoodle Lernraum. Zugriff erhalten Sie durch eine Anmeldung zur Lehrveranstaltung „Wissenschaftliche Integrität“ in RWTHonline. Die Prüfung wird zweimal im Semester angeboten. Eine Anmeldung zur Prüfung in RWTHonline ist zwingend erforderlich zur Absolvierung des Kurses.

Muss ich für jedes Exemplar meiner Abschlussarbeit, das ich einreiche, eine eigene eidesstattliche Versicherung beziehungsweise einen eigenen Antrag auf Logoverwendung beilegen?

Nein. Bitte legen Sie Ihren Arbeiten nur eine eidesstattliche Versicherung beziehungsweise einen Antrag auf Logoverwendung bei.

Ich befinde mich aktuell in einer anderen Zeitzone und möchte meine Abschlussarbeit digital abgeben. Was muss ich beachten?

Um die Abgabefrist zu wahren, ist die deutsche Zeitzone, das heißt die mitteleuropäische Zeit (MEZ) maßgeblich. Bitte informieren Sie sich rechtzeitig, wie viele Stunden die Zeitverschiebung zwischen Ihrem Aufenthaltsort und Deutschland beträgt.

Below you find information about all types of scientific papers that are written in the different courses of study at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. These papers include project research papers, bachelor's theses, and master's theses. All information can also be found in the respective examination regulations for the bachelor ’s programs and the master ‘s programs. The examination regulations are only available in German.

General informations

Where can the thesis be written.

Typically, research papers and projects are completed at a research institute of the faculties offering the course of study. In addition, it is possible to complete a paper or project at an external institution.

External institutions include all institutions, institutes, universities, and industry companies that are not part of the faculties offering the course of study. Generally all external work must be approved by the Examination Board and issued and supervised by a chair of Faculty 4. Course-specific exceptions are listed below.

Who supervises the work?

The supervising professor (betreuende:r Professor:in) is typically a professor or private lecturer of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering or of the School of Business and Economics (only Business Administration and Engineering students) at RWTH Aachen University. An external supervisor (externe_r Betreuer_in) is a supervisor at the site of the external project or paper (e.g., heads of department, a professor at another faculty). External supervisors can only act as second examiners if they are professors or private lecturers at a German academic university and are appointed as such by the relevant examination board. In all other cases, the faculty-internal supervisor and a second examiner issue the grade.

For students of Business Administration and Engineering, interdisciplinary scientific theses whose topics include both engineering and economics can be jointly supervised by a professor from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and a professor from the School of Business and Economics. Both professors determine the first and second supervisor of the thesis and participate jointly in the final colloquium. The first supervisor determines the formal requirements for the scientific work in consultation with the second supervisor.

How do I register my thesis?

You will find the corresponding registration forms (Erfassungsbogen) in our download section below. These must always be completed in full and signed in the order indicated (large numbers in the signature fields). Business Administration and Engineering students whose topic for the thesis is purely economic and is issued by a professor of Faculty 8 do not need the approval of the specialization supervisor. The registration deadline is generally the date on which the registration form is signed by the professor supervising the student.

What do I have to consider if I want to write my thesis externally?

If you want to write your thesis externally, approval must be obtained from the Examination Board. Registration forms (Erfassungsbogen) of external theses can be submitted by email , sent to the faculty by mail or dropped into the "red mailbox" (Eilfschornsteinstraße 18, 52062 Aachen, first floor). Documents should not be additionally submitted as originals if they have already been sent to the Examination Board by email. Digitally submitted registration forms must be signed or digitally signed.

After processing by the Examination Board, the registration form will be returned to you by email. A copy of the document will also be sent directly to the ZPA so that your thesis can be registered in the campus management system and the deadline can be announced.

Where can I find postings for papers and theses?

A list of announced scientific papers of the chairs and institutes of Faculty 4 can be found here .

If you have any further questions, please contact the Study Counseling Service by email or in person during office hours .

Sub-navigation, master thesis.

Students can commence with their Master thesis when the admission requirements of the respective Examination Regulations have been fulfilled. The form required for registering the Master thesis is available from the Central Examination Office (ZPA), which will also check fulfillment of the admission requirements. Only in exceptional cases will the ZPA grant admission before fulfillment of the admission requirements, e.g. when only one mandatory module still has to be completed. In such cases, a written application must be made to the Examination Board. The application must have been approved beforehand by the academic member of staff who provided the topic for the Master thesis

The required form for registering the Master thesis needs to be signed by the student, the professor, the chairperson of the Examination Board, and the Central Examination Office (ZPA). Due to this procedure, approximately 2 weeks will elapse before the registration process is complete.

The completed Master thesis must be submitted threefold:

• two (paper-based) copies including a digital version for both of the assessors
• one digital version (preferably a CD) for the archives

The three versions are submitted to the Central Examination Office, which will check that the submission deadline has been complied with

Please use the following Form for the digital CD version

General Thesis Info

The following article summarizes some general information about theses at the Knowledge-Based Systems Group. That is, we’ll discuss how to arrive at a topic and whom to talk to for the same.

Formal Restrictions

In general, there are no special formal restrictions to do a thesis at KBSG, however, as much previous knowledge in our topics as possible obviously helps. Many topics require the content of at least one of our introductory lectures. Sometimes a proper (but potentially lengthy) orientation phase with a review of particular literature to get into the topic is just fine.

An overview about theses and completed, running, and maybe even open topics can be found at https://kbsg.rwth-aachen.de/theses At KBSG, more often than not, we do not have ready-to-go topics available. Instead, we rather try to develop and tailor a topic specifically for a student starting from what is best described as a fuzzy idea on a problem or a general direction. Our website offers an overview of the spectrum of topics that we deal with. It can roughly be divided into more practical topics (often with robotics as an application) and more theoretical topics with (foundations of) knowledge representation at their heart.

To get more information towards arriving at a topic you are invited to contact one of our staff members that will then most likely become your advisor. Contact information are given on our staff page: https://kbsg.rwth-aachen.de/staff Who to turn to depends on the area of your topic. Besides the existing theses linked about it’s worth taking a look at our publication page at https://kbsg.rwth-aachen.de/biblio

The general procedure then looks as follows: You start with a literature review and orientation for about two month. In that time you write a so-called proposal, which on about 20 pages summarizes the foundations, research questions, and goals of the thesis along with a schedule for the same. After a presentation (and acceptance) of the proposal you go register the thesis. More information is given on https://kbsg.rwth-aachen.de/theses/guidelines

Theses Guidelines

Bachelor’s thesis.

• Proposal: up to 15 pages
• Proposal Presentation: 20 minutes + 5 minutes for questions
• Final Presentation: 25 minutes + 10 minutes for questions

Master’s Thesis

• Proposal: up to 30 pages
• Proposal Presentation: 25 minutes + 5 minutes for questions
• Final Presentation: 35 minutes + 10 minutes for questions

General Procedure

Here’s the general procedure of a thesis at the Knowledge-Based Systems Group:

Orientation

Thesis work, final presentation.

Finally, we have some general remarks for you.

Theses at KBSG

The Knowledge-Based Systems Group constantly has offers for diploma, bachelor, and master theses on topics in all our research areas and projects. When specifying the particular thesis’ topic the advising research assistant and Prof. Lakemeyer of course try to account for the student’s personal interests and background. There are some general requirements that we impose on prospective thesis students:

• successful participation of the KBSG’s introductory lecture(s)
• extensive knowledge in knowledge representation, reasoning, artificial intelligence, and/or (cognitive) robotics
• for the practical parts: strong working knowledge in programming either with Prolog or C++ or both.

If you are interested, please contact us.

It all begins with an orientation phase where you try to get familiar with the topic, start an own literature research and work towards a clear specification of the topic.

Once you are sufficiently into the topic, you should prepare a thesis proposal which is exactly what it sounds like: a proposal for a thesis work. You need to prepare both, a written paper of around 30 pages (~15 pages for bachelor theses) introducing the topic with a motivation, a presentation of related work, your idea(s), and a concept for evaluation, and a talk of 25 minutes + 5 minutes discussion (20+5 minutes for bachelor students) where you present your thesis proposal your dedicated supervisor(s) and to other people interested at KBSG.

When the proposal gets accepted, you can go register the thesis with ZPA and start working.

Once you completed the thesis it’s time to make a final presentation. This is where you present your thesis’ work, findings you made, and results you obtained. You have 35 minutes (+ 10 minutes for questions) as a master’s student and 25 minutes (+ 5 minutes for questions) as a bachelor’s student.

Guideline of academic student thesis, sub-navigation.

• Studentships & Promotions
• Doubts about studies / change of subject

On the initiative of the student council, a guideline has been developed which contains information and guidelines for the preparation of student scientific papers at the Faculty of Civil Engineering; it is intended to serve as a uniform template for the students of the Faculty. At the same time, the chairs should be relieved of the burden of not having to create their own templates. The use of the guidelines is desired. The specifications of the chairs to the students may differ in detail.

• E-Tutorials on RWTH Publications

This quick guide describes how to publish the full text of bachelor theses in RWTH Publications.

Preliminary note

Bachelor's and Master's theses are not subject to mandatory publication. However, they can be referenced in RWTH Publications both with the metadata and published in full text according to the open access model.

Important :

Prerequisite for the publication of a thesis on RWTH Publications is the approval of the institute management. Any contractual conditions regarding non-disclosure agreements, e.g. with industrial partners, which legally exclude provision in RWTH Publications must also be observed.

The advantages of online publication are:

• The full text is visible and searchable worldwide. A stable and permanent addressing is guaranteed by a DOI assignment. Thus, the publication can be reliably cited.
• The publication channels are fast.
• The publication of your bachelor's thesis via the document server RWTH Publications is handled by the university library, whereby only the simple right of use is transferred to the University Library.
• Studies show that Open Access publications are read more often. They can therefore also be cited more often.

Requirements to the PDF file

• The first page must contain the note "communicated by [name of the institute director]".
• The file must have a table of contents in the form of bookmarks for navigation (For more information, see Creating PDFs with Microsoft Word and for Creating PDFs with LaTeX).
• All fonts used must be embedded. For more information, see Create PDFs with Microsoft Word and for Creating PDFs with LaTeX .)

Instruction

• Fill out the online form in RWTH Publications.
• Upload your work in PDF format.
• The Author's Agreement will be displayed at the end of the form. With the Author's Agreement, you transfer to the library the simple right of use to distribute your work on the Internet. Note: We accept Author's Agreement in written form (printed and signed in original) or in electronic form. Author's Agreement in electronic form must be signed either with a qualified electronic signature or with an advanced electronic signature created with a certificate from DFN-PKI (see Instructions ). Please note that for legal reasons we are not allowed to accept Author's Agreement with only a simple electronic signature or a scanned signature. Please send the completed and signed Author's Agreement to the Department Abteilung Services zum wissenschaftlichen Publizieren. RWTH-Publikationen Services zum wissenschaftlichen Publizieren Templergraben 61 52062 Aachen [email protected]
• Send us an e-mail with the consent of your institute director or a person appointed by him/her to publish the paper.
