A global market as well as a globally distributed product development process requires engineers with competence in globally distributed teamwork. Due to the continuously increasing time pressure, collaboration in teams with physical presence will be replaced by collaboration over networks in the future.
Modified working methods as a result of a new collaboration technologies cannot be taught theoretically, but have to be experienced by using the technology directly. In addition, the benefits of of using new collaboration technology can be experienced, thus generating acceptance for the new technology. The proposed project allows to transfer knowledge, which cannot be taught theoretically. This practical experience will create acceptance for net-based work, will generate the knowledge how to use the technological means, and will teach how the technology influences typical business processes. This practical experience will be supplemented by the theoretical knowledge taught in the lecture.
