Abstract
The creation of e-learning materials often involves high initial effort but can then be used by many students with very little additional effort for a lecturer. It therefore makes sense to develop common e-learning materials for use across universities. To be able to quantify this potential in engineering design education, this paper analyzes course descriptions from 21 higher educational institutions as a basis for the development of e-learning materials for cross-university use. Frequently taught topics in the field of technical drawing and machine elements are identified.
