Digital Laboratories in Lectures and Exams on Fundamentals of Materials Engineering 1: TU Dortmund University, Institute of Materials Engineering, Germany; 2: TU Dortmund University, Center of Higher Education, Germany The integration of digital laboratories into engineering education offers a transformative approach to bridging theoretical knowledge and practical application. This manuscript presents the "DigiMatLabExam" project, developed at TU Dortmund University, which incorporates ultra-concurrent remote laboratories (UCRLs) into the Fundamentals of Materials Engineering course and its corresponding e-examinations. By simulating key materials testing methods (tensile test, hardness testing and charpy impact testing) and enabling detailed microstructure analyses, the digital laboratory fosters competency-oriented learning for over 350 students annually. Initial evaluations revealed enhanced student motivation, confidence, and practical understanding of material properties. Furthermore, a structured didactic implementation ensures that students develop critical competencies during lectures and exercises to prepare for summative assessments effectively. This innovative methodology aligns educational practices with industry demands, paving the way for scalable advancements in STEM education. | |
