Abstract

Thermodynamics as basic subject for mechanical engineers faces certain challenges due to the heterogeneity of students, a high number of lecture participants, a rigid syllabus without consideration of practical training as well as a limited number of teaching staff. Therefore, an online-based teaching tool has been developed since 2012, which comprises up to now a feedback-controlled e-assessment, virtual practical courses, a barrier-free lecture script and an online final test. A consequent use of the assessment during the semester by students resulted in improved marks in written exams and less student fail. Some selected examples are presented here, which are representative for the general approach of the chair to provide online-based and skill-oriented lectures using all digitally possible tools.
