question: Are there special teaching and learning processes for future engineers? Abasic assumption is that innovation in engineering education needs to emphasize problem-based and project-oriented, example-based, interdisciplinary as well as team-oriented orparticipant-centered learning approaches. In our efforts to train teaching staff, we focus onactivating teaching methods, active learning processes, and collaborative learning. We facethis challenge by adopting good practices from the corresponding literature2 as well asdeveloping our own good practices3 for our continuing education program. The enhancementof study quality in accordance with the “shift from teaching to learning” demands modernapproaches to teaching and learning and implies a

Often overlooked, but equally important forcareer success, is training on the “soft skills.” In particular, faculty need to
