Implementation of International Master’s Programmes in Engineering Education in Germany
No full text[EN] This paper introduces the framework conditions of the internationalization
process of the higher education system in Germany and gives an overview of
the implementation of international Master’s programmes in engineering
education and the characteristics of student migrants in this field of studies.
Developments on the macro-level clearly indicate political interest to attract
more international students for German universities and the technical
disciplines in Germany are already very successful in this endeavour. With a
special focus on higher education reforms in engineering, this paper is based
on an investigation directed at the meso-level, the motivations and strategies
at the level of university and faculties for establishing such international
study programmes. The results of a qualitative study will be presented that
was conducted at the engineering faculties of the Ruhr-Universität in
Bochum between December 2014 and August 2015. With the overall aim of
investigating in how far the decisions made on university and faculty levels
are related to the general political endeavors to attract international talent,
the different stakeholders’ interests and implementation strategies such as
language policy were consideredStrenger, N.; Frerich, S. (2016). Implementation of International Master’s Programmes in Engineering Education in Germany. En 2nd.

Digital scriptum – novel approach of student experiment preparation
No full text[EN] In mechanical engineering, students pass several seminars aiming at selfconducted experiments and trials. In the ELLI project (Excellent Teaching and Learning in Engineering Science), different virtual and remote laboratories have been installed within the three engineering departments at the Ruhr-University Bochum. The preparation in a classic experiment is usually done with a classic paper print scriptum. This is not suitable for a virtual or remote laboratory, since, amongst others, no supervision is provided. Due to that, a classic scriptum has been transferred in a digital scriptum based on the Open Source software “Adapt Learning” and has been extended by various implemented digital items. This contribution is discussing preliminary student experiences and identified prospective improvements. It turns out that the digital scriptum is suitable for the preparation of virtual and remote laboratories but can be an excellent alternative to the classic printout scriptum in a student experiment in a hands on laboratory as well.http://ocs.editorial.upv.es/index.php/HEAD/HEAD18Roß, N.; Kuska, R.; Rieth, I.; Frerich, S.

Tandem.MINT - Taking advantage of the pandemic
No full text[EN] Being able to interact in an international environment has become more and more important in the field of STEM disciplines. To offer STEM students the option of acquiring intercultural skills and improving their language competence, Tandem.MINT was created as an innovative language and cultural learning program explicitly for STEM students to allow a specified approach, catering to the needs of this particular group. In the beginning, the tandem was offered in a face-to-face manner, enabling local as well as international students to support each other in enhancing their language and intercultural competences. Due to the pandemic, Tandem.MINT was moved online, allowing cooperations with international universities, thus broadening the pool of participants. Evaluations showed that both the face-to-face version and especially the e-tandem are well received by the participants and raised language as well as intercultural competences significantly.Salzinger, J.; Schiffmann, L.; Berbuir, U.; Frerich, S.

Experimental Study on the Scalability of Planetary Roller Extruders
No full text11491155This contribution aims at developing scaling algorithms for planetary roller extruders (PREs). Laboratory- and production-scale experiments were carried out, using thermoplastic polymers according to a statistical design of experiments (DOE). By comparing plant size, spindle configuration, operating parameters, and material properties, their influence on pressure build-up capacity, process temperatures, and residence time distribution is analyzed. All data generated are used to train MATLAB-based machine learning models. First indications hint at Gaussian processes and artificial neural networks, predicting operating parameters with high accuracy.466, Special Issue: CHISA 202

Internationalization and Digitalization in Engineering Education
No full text[EN] Digital, virtual and E-learning elements have increasingly become a part in higher education and, most recently, the high potential of digitalization for processes of strategic internationalization of higher education institutions is coming into focus. The collaborative project of three German universities, XYZ, is working on strategies for the internationalization and virtualization of engineering education. While these topics used to be different key areas of the project, a combination of both distinguished itself as a potential new working field. This paper introduces two pilot concepts that were implemented and evaluated at the universities Y and Z which both aim at the complementation of incoming students’ experiences in Germany by digital means. At Y, a transnational online class explores means of preparing degree-mobile engineering students from all over the world for their master’s studies in Germany. At Z, an online course was designed to accompany a summer school research exchange for US-American engineering students in order to prolong their short-term mobility by digital elements. These pilot projects were well-accepted by students and faculty at both universities and their evaluations between 2014 and 2017 have revealed valuable results for further optimization. This paper presents the results and discusses future potential.Strenger, N.; May, D.; Ortelt, T.; Kruse, D.; Frerich, S.; Tekkaya, AE. (2017).

Erfolgreiches Praxisbeispiel. Ein interaktives Blended-Learning-Seminar mit Praxisphase
No full textDer Einsatz digitaler Lerntechnologien beeinflusst das Lernen und Lehren an Hochschulen maßgeblich. In der Praxis hat sich gezeigt, dass eine Kombination neuer Lernmedien in Verbindung mit präsenzbasierten Lern- und Lehrformen die höchste Akzeptanz erfährt. Die didaktischen Ansätze zur sinnvollen Verzahnung von E-Learning und Präsenzlernen im Rahmen von Blended-Learning-Konzepten stellen dabei zentrale Erfolgsfaktoren dar. Ein besonderes Blended-Learning-Konzept wird im Seminar „Qualitätsmanagement“ des Lehrstuhls Technik und ihre Didaktik der Technischen Universität Dortmund realisiert. Das Lern-Szenario ist von einem Fallbeispiel ausgehend sequenziert, um die Studierenden bei der Strukturierung ihres Lernprozesses zu unterstutzen und die Selbstlernphasen zu intensivieren. Durch eine ergänzende Praxisphase werden E-Learning und Präsenzlernen innerhalb der Veranstaltung besonders engmaschig verknüpft. Der Beitrag stellt das Konzept dieses handlungsorientierten Blended-Learning-Seminars als Good-Practice-Beispiel vor und zeigt, wie virtuelle Lernwelten in Form von E-Learning und reale Lernwelten im Sinne von Lernsituationen „face to face“ erfolgreich miteinander kombiniert werden können.
