“…The dual features of the learning objectives are contrasted with the contextual approach, which implies the choice of the educational content with a higher degree of the necessary material for the implementation of a given type of activity. The structure of the course is developed based on the type of activity [17,31].…”

The research aims to identify and substantiate the organizational and pedagogical conditions for the effective implementation of modular technology for the devel-opment of professional competencies in welder students in a corporate training center. The practical analysis of student achievements based on the proposed modular training system with the participation of two groups of men undergoing vocational training (22 people in each of them) showed that the experimental group provided more qualitative average answers to 9 out of 20 test questions, and the total average score was higher in this group. The experimental group also showed statistically significant and higher average scores in 5 practical tests. The results of the study can be put into practice to improve the quality of engineering training in corporate training centers.

“…Ercan, Sale and Kristian observed that "certain key features such as interdisciplinary, collaborative active and experiential learning, and authentic assessment for learning" develop the "engineering as well as communication and teamwork skills of students […] significantly". [11] The scope of subjects introducing making activities is wide, even using a makerspace for ocean technology education [27] was investigated. Another study found "that students who use the space either for class projects or for their own personal projects had significantly higher inmajor GPAs than students who did not use the space" [10].…”

This systematic literature review addresses strongly on makerspaces in schools. An evaluation of literature about their status-quo shows qualitative and quantitative knowledge gaps in the relatively new field of makerspaces in and used by schools according to infrastructure, funding, and administration. A taxonomy concerning physical existing makerspaces in schools and used by schools including parameters like location, responsibilities, financing, instructors, users, time restrictions, and feasible maker activities is developed. Two different electronic journal databases, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and ScienceDirect, acted as source for this literature review. Most of this existing literature concentrates on the educational maker activities and only some feature additional information like the physical space, the financing or else. Nonetheless, these rare findings suggest four main categories of real-world makerspaces used for educational pur-poses in schools: External makerspaces, school makerspaces, open makerspaces located in schools, and temporary (Pop-up) makerspaces. Furthermore, we identified the need for investigations on the question of open makerspaces located in schools and the financial and organizational structure to operate them.

“…Depending on the size, the complexity and the components the development is split into several smaller projects, e.g. development of the electric power steering for the E-Kart [6]. These initial developments are done either by students performing their bachelor or master thesis or by student teams in terms of PBL.…”

Rolling Labs – Teaching Vehicle Electronics from the Beginning

This paper describes the pedagogical approach to teach vehicle electronics at the University of Applied Science Aachen. As vehicle electronics is getting more and more complex, in particular with regard to Advanced Driver Assistance Systems and autonomous driving, a dedicated concept is needed to integrate the require-ments of vehicle electronics into the studies of electrical engineering. The con-cept of rolling labs is established during the last years for the studies of electrical engineering. The rolling labs cover different levels of complexity and integration of the electronics and components used in modern applications and hence under-graduate students can start working with interesting and close to reality systems rather early. The rolling labs enable several different possibilities of teaching and learning, either for standard labs, for team works in terms of problem-based learning (PBL) or for individual works like bachelor or master thesis. In addi-tion, the systems can be used as research platforms and for demonstration and marketing purpose to introduce the challenging topic of vehicle electronics to other people.
