Tele-engineering in a Multimedial Learning Environment
Our Project
For this project, we have asked a team of trainee electrical engineers specializing in automation
to help us test the processing of an automation task by several project teams in different locations.
The aim is to determine the possibilities and limits of a cooperative learning environment.
The planned tele-engineering operation is to be carried out in the 99/00 winter semester as part of
their practical training in the subjects "Industrial Communication Systems" (Cologne Technical
University, Gummersbach dept.) and "Process Control" (Düsseldorf Technical University).
The task of the participating student teams is to put a processing station with a control system
and graphical user interface into operation and test it. Communication between the two locations is
achieved via a video and document conference system.
