In Austria a unique research program the so called Sparkling Science has been introduced by the Federal Ministry of Science, Research and Economy in 2007. Within this program, a research collaboration between Technische Universitaet Wien (TU Wien) and several Austrian Federal Secondary Colleges of Engineering (in Austria called HTL) has been set up...

Collaboration in general but especially between students of Austrian Federal Secondary Colleges of Engineering (HTL) is becoming more and more important. Therefore, the joint diploma thesis has been introduced into the cur- riculum. Furthermore, joint student projects have become a crucial topic within the subject of mechanical engineering design....

In Austria technical education is taught at federal secondary colleges of engineering (HTL) at a quite high level of ISCED 5. Despite mechanical engineering , design with industrial standard 3D programs being state of the art in industry and education, technologies using Internet of Things (IoT) and Augmented Reality (AR) are still at an early stag...

Augmented Reality (AR) can be applied in more and more fields. One of these areas is Industry 4.0, which is highly relevant for education in Higher Technical Vocational Colleges. A positive perception of AR education might help to motivate students to deep-dive into Industry 4.0. This is important since there is a considerable demand for a highly-s...

Industrial activity of the past has created several contaminated brownfields, which, particularly in remote areas, are difficult to remedy from an economic point of view. In this project, a novel approach for in-situ removal of mineral hydrocarbons from soil was investigated. The underlying concept was to flush contaminated soil with emulsions of p...

While urban digitalization is constantly progressing as part of smart city initiatives, digitalization projects on a municipal level are being implemented only sporadically. At the same time, new technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), offer possibilities to improve the efficiency of communal infrastructure management.This paper explici...

Due to rapid changes in industrial production, more and more companies introduce elements of Industry 4.0. Augmented Reality (AR) as an emerging technology is a crucial component in this field. AR can be applied in different areas of the product life cycle and manufacturing processes alike. Consequently, AR-technologies and their industrial applica...

The rapid development of technological innovation means that companies need to transform themselves into digital enterprises. The digital transformation requires more than the introduction and implementation of digital technologies, and it has effects on all areas of an enterprise. Companies have to think of new business models, rethinking their op...

The Internet of Things (IoT), as an upcoming technology, has the potential to change the way engineers work and communicate among each other. The same is true for the companies’ workforce, which is spread all over the world, is of different origin and has different technical backgrounds. The constantly changing situation in industry always has and...

This work describes the research activities performed in the field of engineering education at Austrian Federal Colleges of Engineering (HTL) in collaboration with both Graz and Vienna Universities of Technology. To support the collaboration process in engineering education, a Product Data Management (PDM) system was introduced to several Austrian...

In Austria there is a unique curriculum of technical education which is taught at Federal Secondary Colleges of Engineering (HTL). Despite mechanical engineering design with industrial standard 3D programmes being state of the art, techniques like Internet of Things (IoT) and Augmented Reality (AR) are still at the beginning. This paper describes t...

In 2007, a research partnership program between Austrian schools and universities called "Sparkling Science" was founded by the Austrian federal ministry of Science, Research and Economy (Birke, 2013). The main objective has been to bring science and schools together, in particular, to increase interest for STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Engin...
