Abstract
The mobility of students that would be necessary to gain intercultural internationalization experience during their studies is not available to the same extent for all students. In engineering it is partly possible to replace physical presence by virtualized technical arrangements – e.g. by web access to the sensors and actuators of a robot or machine or by using 3D printing technology. The project ENGINE of the University of Applied Sciences (UAS) Technikum Wien – Engineering goes International – develops such concepts from a technical and didactic point of view. This paper gives a brief overview of the experience gained in this case study with academic programs in e.g., mechatronics/robotics, mechanical engineering and international industrial engineering. The approach and achieved results can easily be applied as well in other engineering study programs – e.g., electronics, informatics and many more.
