Statements by ethics committees in engineering research

03.12.2020 – Statements by ethics committees are often indispensable in the engineering sciences.

Comment on: GL10 (Engineering/engineering sciences)

Technical systems and metadata

03.12.2020 – Technical systems, along with their hardware and software, are usually made up of a mixture of commercial and self-created components. Ideally, the design phase should already take care that metadata is generated as automated and standardised as possible.

Quality assurance in the engineering sciences

03.12.2020 – A clear interpretation of results is sometimes made difficult by the complexity of the problem.

Comment on: GL7 (Engineering/engineering sciences)

Separation of basic research and contract research

03.12.2020 – When working on projects outside of basic research, such areas must be clearly separated.

Comment on: GL4 (Engineering/engineering sciences)

Standards/references

03.12.2020 – In the engineering sciences, a standard is something that is arrived at the end of a prolonged process. In the context of research in this field, it makes more sense to regard a standard as a point of reference.
