In the course of the last few years, our students are becoming increasingly unhappy. Sometimes they stop attending lectures and even seem not to know how to behave correctly. It feels like they are getting on strike. Consequently, drop-out rates are sky-rocketing. The lecturers/professors are not happy either, adopting an “I-don’t-care” attitude.
An interdisciplinary, international team set in to find out: (1) What are the students unhappy about? Why is it becoming so difficult for them to cope? (2) What does the “I-don’t-care” attitude of professors actually mean? What do they care or not care about? (3) How far do the views of the parties correlate? Could some kind of mutual understanding be achieved?
The findings indicate that, at least at our universities, there is rather a long way to go from “Engineering versus Pedagogy” to “Engineering Pedagogy”.

Both German and French Air-Source Heat Pump (ASHP) markets have been enjoying an overall upwards trend for many years but, nevertheless, they remain merely slightly penetrated. In terms of market players and their share, the French market is aptly diversified, whereas the German one, being utterly dominated by one single manufacturer, is badly in need of some diversification. At the same time Korean ASHP manufacturers are targeting the French but not German ASHP market. The main purpose of the paper is to find out likely reasons for their one-sided engagement, primarily those associated with the ASHP technology and its system-related aspects.
Statistische Daten über den Wärmepumpenmarkt, hier speziell den europäischen, sind schwer zu bekommen. Ausführliche länderbezogene Recherchen werden durch zwei Institutionen angeboten: BRG (International Strategic Market Research And Consultancy On Building Product And Related Markets) und BSRIA (Building Services Research and Information Association), beide in London ansässig. Beschaffung dieser Daten ist jedoch mit erheblichen Kosten verbunden. Frei zugänglich sind dagegen Berichte von EHPA (European Heat Pump Association, Brüssel), die teilweise andere Schwerpunkte setzen, anders strukturiert sind und nur acht europäische Länder behandeln. Infolgedessen wurden beim Vergleich von BRG- und EHPA-Daten enorme Diskrepanzen für vier von acht Ländern festgestellt. Das Ziel dieses Berichts ist es, Trends auf dem europäischen Wärmepumpenmarkt aufzuzeigen. Diese Analyse war notwendig, um anschließend Untersuchungen zum Thema Energieeffizienz der Luftwärmepumpen durchzuführen.
Due to a controversial enrollment policy in most engineering programs at German Universities of Applied Sciences (UAS), many freshmen show very low school grades in key subjects like Math and Physics. Nevertheless they expect to be entertained in the lectures and get demotivated easily. Despite initial reservations, a cheer-and-challenge approach was developed for teaching Mechanics to freshmen having very diverse school grades. When tested, it showed astonishing results.
