Abstract:
This paper reviews the teaching of virtual product development during the past semesters for students of mechanical engineering at RWTH Aachen University. It outlines the specific structure of the course and the exam, and discusses possible impact factors on marks that students achieve. Furthermore, it illustrates challenges in teaching. The so-called digital natives have grown up with computers and digital media. Nevertheless, in education at university level still difficulties using CAD software can be identified.
