Abstract
Recently, German university education in computer science in Germany has not been adequately meeting the needs of computer science professionals. Knowledge remains passive, not easily transferred and applied to actual problems. Our project involving problem-based learning in computer science aims to improve this situation at Technische Universität Mtinchen by supporting realistic case studies as part of students’ work. Our approach exploits recent trends in using computers and the Web for improving learning and teaching. We have developed an integrated environment—Munics (Munich Net-based learning in Computer Science), which supports students and teachers working on actual case studies in computer science. We want students to learn how to apply their factual knowledge in future workplace situations.
