Transitions
This field deals with the development of measures concerning in particular the transitional steps characterizing a student lifecycle as well as the initial and PhD phases. Such measures aim on the one hand at the reduction of dropout rates by facilitating the entrance into higher engineering education for pupils, professionally qualified target groups and students. On the other hand, the increase of doctoral student’s shares and the promotion of their generic and interdisciplinary competencies are equally considered as goals of prime importance.
The overall objective of all measures in this field is to allow a wider amount of undergraduates to have access to an engineering degree and to support those potential students with different learning backgrounds before and during their studies.
