After having attended a one-week lecture, every student had to create a SketchUp model of a building of his/her choice in order to earn the credit points (see left picture below). Thereupon, the model had to be fully integrated into the Google Earth system. Beyond that, an AutoCAD drawing had to be generated using the building of the first task (creating the SketchUp model) as a basis. Exemplarily, the outcome of the second task is shown by means of a groundplan in the right picture below.

As a part of this course, a CAD seminar offers the opportunity to accomplish a comprehensive CAD construction project in teamwork (considering real engineering structures currently being under construction). At this, the total group of students works together as a team in order to solve the overall task. Posters illustrating recent project results are shown below (in German).

Learning object-oriented modeling and implementation in order to efficiently solve engineering problems is the main goal of this course. For that purpose, the students have to solve "small" engineering problems by applying the knowledge gained in the lectures and exercises. These student projects are conducted in parallel to lectures and exercises. Two example screenshots of student projects are shown below. In addition, the implemented programs can be tested by using the following links. Both examples have been taken from the official course website.
