The Institute of Vocational Education, Work and Technology (short: EUF-BIAT) trains vocational education teachers in the fields of Metals-, Electrical-, Automotive- and Information Technology and deals with issues regarding the development of technology, (skilled) work and vocational training from a vocational education and an educational scientific point of view.
An educational, didactic and scientific expertise in the fields of digitalization and media education is therefore already available by function and is proven by the projects already carried out at the institute.
The EUF Team is part of the Erasmus Project CityGo which enriched the competence in the development of online learning scenarios especially collaboration in online communities.
