Abstract:
This paper deals with a new approach for problem-based teaching that has been developed to meet the needs of today’s industry. After giving a definition of problem-based teaching against the background of project-based teaching, the implementation of student-centred teaching by combining two Master’s courses is being described. One course deals with managing and planning Virtual Product Creation Processes. In the other course students have to develop a product from the first idea to a virtual prototype. Benefits of problem-based teaching as well as current challenges are explained.
