Abstract
At the Darmstadt University of Technology a reworking of educational documents is actually in progress concerning the product development courses of our department product development and machine elements. Scripts and exercise documents are actualized and improved concerning contents and structure. Relating to this, newest results concerning modularization of contents in product development are applicated. This paper points out the derivation of a lecture and a practice course concerning a well defined topic (variant management), based on a modularization approach including all required documents. Out of one database containing modular contents with no own semantic meaning documents were derived in a special edited way.
