A case study on the haptic understanding in the teaching of Geometrical Product Specifications (GPS)

(University of Wuppertal, 2024) Sersch, Alina ; Steger, Tobias ; Sauder, Christian ; Gust, Peter

This case study examines haptic understanding in the teaching of Geometrical Product Specifications (GPS). As part of a lecture in the field of GPS, mechanical engineering students were given a group task involving the standard-compliant creation of a technical drawing. During their work, they were divided into three groups and subjected to a short knowledge test. Depending on their group assignment, they were given the following tools, partly from a hybrid learning kit: technical drawings, technical drawings and 3D CAD model, technical drawings and a haptic model. Finally, the tools were evaluated.
A survey on the teaching of Geometrical Product Specifications (GPS) in mechanical engineering studies at universities in Germany

(University of Wuppertal, 2024) Sersch, Alina ; Sauder, Christian ; Steger, Tobias ; Gust, Peter

This study examines the teaching of the GPS system in higher education. The focus is on determining the scope, teaching methods, experiences and potential in bachelor’s degree courses in mechanical engineering in Germany. In total, lecturers from 85 of the 115 selected universities took part in the survey, which was conducted between May and September 2023.
