an additional challenge. Teaching computing in architecture, engineering andconstruction (AEC) must focus on more aspects than the use of commercial tools [30]. With thisin mind, it becomes crucial to teach students basic skills that help them to adopt problems andcreate their own solutions based on computer science technologies.Own evaluations show that the acceptance of courses in applied computer science is relativelylow as it is not seen by all as a necessary skill for a civil engineer. Based on this knowledge,existing courses have been scrutinized. The chair for Computing in Civil Engineering at theTechnische Universität Berlin gives two compulsory undergraduate courses. 100 to 150 studentsparticipate in each of these courses. Both
