Abstract

In Austria there is a unique curriculum of technical education which is taught at Federal Secondary Colleges of Engineering, commonly known as HTL. This paper gives an overview about continuous research activities together with TU Wien (Vienna), best practises and methods, planned enhancements and the gained experiences concerning PDM (product data management) and systems engineering as well as the impact to daily engineering education.
