Hands-On Teaching for Petroleum Engineers in the Twenty-First Century

摘要

Several years ago, a new concept of teaching undergraduate and graduate students was introduced at the Clausthal University of Technology (CUT) based on the implementation of hands-on teaching systems that not only expose the students to physical models but also require them to build such models or to generate experiments using existing models. The results show an improved learning capability in combination with better knowledge transfer between teacher and students. This paper presents the results of student competitions held at CUT.
