As part of the "MATHE DIGITAL: Fundamentals and Advanced Engineering Mathematics" project, a digital course was developed to support students in the initial phase of their studies. It is suitable both for independent learning and for integration into lectures in a blended learning format. A central ELO page with digital content offers a standardized range of practice and consolidation materials as well as learning progress checks and tests for all groups in the engineering mathematics lecture. This creates a solid foundation in mathematics fundamentals for engineering mathematics. The modularization of the content enables the use of the introductory modules in other engineering degree courses and, with minor adjustments, also in non-engineering degree courses.

The "Student-led Educational Ownership (StudEO)" project aims to prepare students for virtual teamwork and intercultural cooperation by enabling them to develop and implement teaching and training projects on their own responsibility. It promotes the development of practical skills and social competencies through simulation and simulation-based exercises, including the proven GLOBE exercise on virtual collaboration in multinational organizations. These exercises are designed by students for students and supported by academic mentoring. Special emphasis is placed on the use of digital and virtual tools and international collaboration. Students learn both by participating in these exercises and by giving feedback to their peers, which strengthens their ability to reflect and take responsibility. The project is evaluated through a portfolio examination system and offers the opportunity for interdisciplinary and cross-university collaboration.

The philosophical café is an open, interdisciplinary philosophical discussion series for students, OTH Regensburg staff and all interested citizens of the city of Regensburg that takes place regularly each semester.

In the project Reflection on learning status through automated online tests, the possibilities of automatically testing programming tasks in ELO(moodle), evaluating the internal structure and providing feedback were examined. In the project, Prof. Dr. Timo Baumann and Prof. Dr. Sebastian Fischer examined the existing tools and integrated them into a semi-automated process that optimizes the cost-benefit ratio.

In this course, students deal with the ethical foundations of social work. The lecturer sees herself as an educational facilitator and invites students to engage in dialog. Over the course of the semester, students reflect on their own ethical attitudes, learn about normative aspects of their chosen profession and develop the course further by didactically preparing what they have learned for the next course. In small groups, they work independently on thematic modules and produce podcasts, videos or handouts. In doing so, they practise working in a gender-, power- and culturally sensitive way and relating regional requirements to international perspectives.

In this project, Prof. Dr. Susanne Hipp and Prof. Dr. Florian Aschauer have designed a master's project seminar for the MEM (Master Electrical and Microsystems Engineering) course, in which students use Xilinx RFSoC boards to carry out various projects independently. For example, topics such as 5G and FPGAs can be explored in greater depth and students can gain a practical insight into the subject matter.
