Successful combined teaching and learning concept of the WOT professorship celebrates its 5th anniversary
As part of the "Metallic Materials" course for students on the primary school teaching degree programme, a practical course for primary school classes has been taking place for five years now. The speciality here is that the student teachers plan and carry out the practical course themselves. This creates a completely new space for initial practical experience in the fields of materials and mechanical engineering - for both the students and the primary school pupils.
