A New Qualification Concept for Sewer and Pipeline Construction Based on an Innovative, Network-Based Solution for Virtual Teaching, Learning and Working

摘要

The value of innovative, network-based solutions for virtual teaching, learning and working in basic and advanced training is becoming increasingly important. Besides the independence of the learning and working places and the respective time scales of learning and working compared to conventional possibilities, there is an advantage of such offers in the medium-specific, contextual and didactic structure. UNITRACC, The German Training and Competence Center for Underground Infrastructure is one such solution for the field of sewer and pipeline construction, i.e. for craftsmen, technicians and engineers of smaller and medium sized companies and public officials as well as for students and trainees. In order to ensure a topical, operational competence development, that takes account of the qualification requirements and the necessity for continuous advanced training, as well as the problems and solutions required by the economy, ecology and state of the technology, the platform comprises three areas. 1. Information / research, 2. Teaching / learning, 3. Working (ASP). The aims involved in this are: 1. Creation of craft competence through the presentation of technical information representing the current international state of technology. 2. Harmonizing the material for basic and advanced training through the preparation of teaching materials for trade schools, training centers and universities. 3. Coordination and processing of construction and research projects as well as making software tools for engineering services available.
