The Concept behind meccanica feminale
Meccanica feminale brings together women from universities with engineers from the practical field.
The concept behind meccanica feminale is the successful concept of informatica feminale.
Meccanica feminale brings new pulses to the study of Mechanical and Electro-engineering!
With each session lasting 45 minutes, the week-long course consists to approx. 26 sessions, and the half-week course 14 sessions. Covering profound technical themes, as well as disciplinary and interdisciplinary topics, daily lectures are open to all interested women throughout the program.
Possible teaching methods are lectures, workshops, seminars, courses, practicals, or perhaps something completely different. Meccanica feminale will also be an opportunity for the lecturers to try out new ideas.
Meccanica feminale Baden-Wuerttemberg will enable interested women to further develop their skills in an atmosphere conducive to learning.
Using the Call for Lectures, lecture options from professional women and universities can be submitted. A program committee will then gather all interests and put together a comprehensive offer.
Professional women have the opportunity to vary their existing teaching strategies, or to contribute their knowledge and experience, thus qualify further towards becoming a professor.
Students may make creative suggestions for desired teaching methods, even those that may be offered in their home institutions. Furthermore, the lecturers from the industry have the opportunity to try out teaching in academic context, and from there an academic teaching career could be developed.
The interesting and varying evening program completes the seminar and promotes networking among all the participants.
It is our intention that the venue for meccanica feminale Baden-Wuerttemberg switches each year between Furtwangen University and another Baden-Wuerttemberg university.
We would like to support the students that are interested in technical subjects as their choice of study, so that we can eventually offer a program tailored to suit them.
Those who will work as lecturers will receive a reimbursement of all travel and accommodation expenses, courtesy of Furtwangen University.
