CrossLab, the big idea.... Laboratories play a key role in a wide range of STEM courses. As part of the project, we have the opportunity to look beyond our own horizons and launch a call to support new innovative laboratory ideas at the partner universities. Ideas from students and lecturers are of equal interest. Here is an overview of the developments....

‘Take care of your strawberries at the click of a mouse’ – nevertheless, harvesting them is still a manual process. ...and learn how sensors and actuators work, how to record sensor data autonomously via radio signals, visualise it online and analyse the data. Recognise the connections and dependencies between the ‘real
Competition
Students are able to deepen their process understanding on their own and in a playful manner on the interrelation of influencing/ operating parameters on the outcome of the examined thermal separation process distillation by using the developed digital tool. This tool can be applied to all relevant lectures and practical

The system soil-water-atmosphere-plant is of central importance in geoecological education. At the same time it is inherently characterised by complex interacting, non-linear processes. In many cases, the complexity and the abstract situation of limited observability hinder an approach to the subject. Furthermore, processes such as infiltration, water redistribution, root water
Competition
As part of the CrossLab project, the Department of Systems and Software Engineering is proposing the further development of two existing laboratories, the Ball Drop Test and the Model Railway. Both labs are currently used for courses and other student work. The department is already planning to modernise and expand
Competition
Hardware extension Up until now, students have had to operate the system, for example, to remove the cups filled with water and empty them back into the storage tank. Empty cups also need to be placed at the start of the conveyor belt. For remote operation, the system would need

Accurate measurement of temperature plays a major role not only in weather observation, but in many technical fields - temperature is the most measured quantity after time. Temperature cannot be measured directly, but only by its effect on another physical quantity. In industry, mainly electrical thermometers (resistance thermometers and thermocouples)
Competition
Laboratory work with various components such as lasers, lenses and camera chips is an essential part of optics education. The construction of simple optical systems, e.g. to determine the quality of a laser beam profile or to analyse the light distribution behind different beam shapers, is very important in
Competition
In the age of Industry 4.0, I would like to teach students how to use the technology of the Industrial Internet of Things like a smart factory. In cooperation with the TU Ilmenau, a remote lab will be designed and set up in such way that: * the rotational speed
Competition
In the context of the lectures Fluid Mechanics and Fluid Machinery I, a laboratory is to be developed which enables students to independently investigate the interactions between flow and airfoil in the wind tunnel. On the one hand, the laboratory should offer the possibility to collect real measurement data (pressure
Competition
Microfluidic systems are characterized by a multitude of advantages compared to conventional systems and apparatuses and represent a broad field of research within and outside the department of Biochemical- and Chemical Engineering. A practice-oriented teaching program in the form of remote laboratories is to be created to digitally realize, among
Competition
The Quantum Physics venue as a digital learning-teaching lab at TU Dortmund University
Competition
The practical courses in organic chemistry focus on acquiring basic technical knowledge and skills. Students are instructed to plan and carry out experiments independently and to analyze the results. Due to high safety requirements, detailed experimental instructions are provided. In order to make students more familiar with the safety aspects
