Abstract

The European Project Semester program at the University of Applied Science Osnabrück deals mainly with engineering projects in different engineering domains. Developing a product based on complex technical requirements and economic concerns, such as cost-sensible development and marketing and environmentally-friendly design, are goals of a successful project during the one-semester internship at Osnabrück for a multicultural project team. In 2018, a team of four students received the task of developing a speedometer for bicycles with a brake light to enhance the rider's safety, especially in an urban environment. Besides the technical challenges, the team developed a marketing plan for the product. To the students, it was an excellent opportunity to understand the benefits and risks of working in a multicultural team and the necessity of following strict project management guidelines to finish a project as a team successfully.
