Motivation

The course Additive Manufacturing for Sustainability introduces students to sustainable practices in fabrication by applying additive manufacturing (AM) technologies. It emphasizes energy efficiency, material use, and environmental impact while fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and practical problem-solving.

To ensure excellent teaching and student learning outcomes, we are seeking a motivated student assistant (HiWi) to support the preparation of teaching materials, exercises, and course organization.

Objective

The aim of this HiWi position is to assist the teaching team in developing and supporting educational materials and resources that:

  • Introduce and illustrate sustainable practices in AM.
  • Provide guidance for life cycle assessment (LCA) and sustainable design methods.
  • Facilitate student group work, report writing, and poster presentations.
  • Connect industry-academia collaborations (Bavaria Makes) with course content.

Tasks

  • Prepare lecture slides, exercises, and workshop content.
  • Develop templates and instructions for student reports and posters.
  • Support the integration of case studies.
  • Organize course resources and teaching materials (readings, databases, software manuals).
  • Assist the teaching team during the project week (poster and prototype workshops).

Your profile

  • Enrolled student at TUM with a valid work permit.
  • Background in mechanical engineering, materials science, industrial engineering, or related fields.
  • Strong interest in sustainability, additive manufacturing, and life cycle assessment.
  • Good organizational and communication skills.
  • Ability to work independently and meet deadlines.
  • Proficiency in English (written and spoken); German is a plus.

What we offer you

  • An exciting role at the interface of additive manufacturing and sustainability.
  • Insight into the teaching process in a interdisciplinary course.
  • Practical experience with project-based learning and LCA tools.
  • Close collaboration with scientific staff and course instructors.
  • Flexible working hours (~8 hours/week).
  • Payment according to TUM guidelines (link).

Application: If you are interested, please send your application documents (cover letter, CV, and relevant certificates) to application.mat@ed.tum.de
