Silvia Heubach; Tuyetdong Phan-Yamada – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2025
We describe a hands-on project in which students collect data on the impact of distracted driving on driver reaction time. Initially they do this in class via a virtual driving applet, using themselves and fellow students as test subjects. Different applet versions simulate driving with and without distraction and measure the time it takes to…

Schulze-Buxloh, Lina; Grob, Rolf; Ulbrich, Michelle – International Society for Technology, Education, and Science, 2021
The worldwide Corona pandemic has severely restricted student projects in the higher semesters of engineering courses. In order not to delay the graduation, a new concept had to be developed for projects under lockdown conditions. Therefore, unused rooms at the university should be digitally recorded in order to develop a new usage concept as…
