Project Humanitarian Technology – A Novel Project Based, Inverted Classroom Approach in Engineering Education

This contribution describes a novel, project based, inverted-classroom teaching approach, which combines the benefits of a learner-centered classroom concept with soft skill education and real-life humanitarian projects. The projects were chosen in close collaboration to the IEEE SIGHT Germany Section in order to guarantee the values and goals of the SIGHT program. Next to a detailed education concept description, two representative projects, which have been executed at Ruhr University Bochum in the last years, are presented.
