Abstract :
At the beginning of their studies, first-year students learn basics in mathematics, physics and chemistry disintegrated from each other. Graduated engineers should be problem solvers and scientists, which demands for abilities that students can hardly learn in lectures. Recognizing the need of a learning format that covers these demands we developed a research workshop for students in engineering science based on previous work of Wildt, Schneider and Jungmann. With this development we implement research-based learning into engineering courses by synchronizing the students´ learning process with a typical research process.
