What’s it all about?

Topics/Research and Teaching Profile

The IngPäd+ working group coordinates and develops the Engineering pedagogy study option in close collaboration with the participating universities. The focus is on the organisation and further development of courses, as well as on coordinating the content of the programme. IngPäd+ – Starting a teacher training degree in the region — Study options for technical teacher training at vocational schools — TU Dresden

Another key focus is on specifically targeting and attracting students. To this end, the members develop appropriate measures for public relations and study guidance.

Furthermore, the working group actively supports teaching, for example by assisting with courses, supervising students and further developing teaching methodologies.

The aim is to facilitate a high-quality and well-coordinated transition from the Bachelor’s programme to a teaching career at vocational schools and to continuously improve study conditions.
