Research output: Contributions to collected editions/worksArticle in conference proceedingsResearchpeer-review

Authors

The work-in-progress (WiP) paper comprises the conception, implementation, and evaluation project of an integrated introductory phase in engineering sciences with the aim of providing personalized support to students before commencing their studies and during their initial two semesters. The didactic innovation lies in designing a digitally supported comprehensive introductory phase that effectively accompanies the transition from school to university and significantly contributes to enhancing students’ academic abilities during their initial semesters. As a specific contribution to the ongoing research discussion on learning with and about technologies in engineering education, this paper aims to provide theoretical and practical insights into the following aspects: how to design an enhanced introductory phase based on theoretical foundations, how to agilely address forthcoming developments and assist freshmen using technologies in engineering educational environments, and how to conduct evaluations for quality assurance and validation processes.
