TeachING

The target of the project TeachING was intended to rouse interest in pupils for questions about natural science and to inspire to a corresponding choice of studies. Using a cooperation concept of the Laboratory for Machine Tools and Production Engineering (WZL) with various schools, pupils in Wipperfürth were given during a two-day workshop an understanding of the job profile of an engineer. The first day was carried out under the topic “efficient production management”: The students developed a production process and learned the fundamentals of lean production in a playful and engaging way. The second day took place at the machine tools laboratory. A tour of the RWTH demonstration factory was on the agenda, as well as a digital factory design planning. Questions could have been raised around the studies at RWTH too.
