Abstract
Working in transnational contexts will be the normal case for the future, especially for engineers. In general this competence can be gained by going abroad during the course of studies. However, not every student can afford going abroad. E-learning technologies can help connect students in different countries and have them work together. Especially for the engineering context, remote laboratories are a very promising technology. With the help of these laboratories, students can perform real live online experiments from their devices at home. Connecting students via the internet and combine this with online experimentation leads to international working groups. The presented course follows such a concept. The online course was developed to prepare students for an international work environment and for a stay in Germany. The use of remote laboratories plays an important role. The course concept and findings are explained on the basis of the first course edition in 2014.
