Abstract

The paper presents the teaching concept of an elective course in the bachelor’s and master’s programs of Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, and Industrial Engineering, which enrolls approx. 30 students per year. The vision of the teaching concept is that the students should acquire competencies for solving engineering problems by working autonomously on open-ended questions according to scientific standards. To this end, the teaching concept combines elements of constructive alignment, inverted classroom and competence-oriented examinations. Teaching evaluations and student feedback confirm that the teaching concept achieves its aim and that the students gain employability.

Der Beitrag stellt das Lehrkonzept einer Wahlpflichtveranstaltung der Bachelor- und Masterstudiengänge Maschinenbau, Mechatronik und Wirtschaftsingenieurwesen mit ca. 30 Studierenden pro Jahrgang vor. Das Lehrkonzept hat zum Ziel, dass Studierende Kompetenzen zur Lösung ingenieurwissenschaftlicher Probleme durch die selbstständige Bearbeitung offener Fragestellungen nach wissenschaftlichen Standards erwerben. Hierzu werden Elemente des Constructive Alignment, des Inverted Classroom und des kompetenzorientierten Prüfens kombiniert. Lehrevaluationen und studentisches Feedback bestätigen, dass die Ziele des Lehrkonzepts erreicht werden und die Studierenden berufliche Handlungskompetenz erwerben.
