Abstract :
This paper presents the competence-, business- and research-orientated education approach Fit4PracSis (= Fit for Practice and Sciences). Fit4PracSis is designed for freshman students in interdisciplinary engineering degree programs. It is an education concept, which is establishing a relationship to the future profession and scientific work during the introductory study phase. The freshman students will be early trained in important skills, which are necessary for the successful achievement of the final degree and the future business and research activities.
