TY - CHAP A1 - Neef, Matthias A1 - Zielke, Thomas A1 - Fussenecker, Claudia A2 - Danish Network for Engineering Education, T1 - Engineering Conferences - An Innovative Course for Master Students in Engineering T2 - Exploring Teaching for Active Learning in Engineering Education N2 - A course called "Engineering Conferences" is presented that the authors have developed and installed as a mandatory part of the curriculum in Master programs for engineering students. The idea is to go beyond teaching the standards of academic writing and skills for working with scientific publications. By using a learner-centered approach, we get the students engaged in typical activities around an active attendance of a real conference. They write a paper complying with common academic standards, submit the paper and review submissions of their fellow students. Students also produce a poster and have to defend it in a poster session held publicly on campus. In this article, we present our rationale to develop the course and our results from the first semester teaching this course. This includes the presentation of useful resources for teaching and organizing scientific publishing as well as our reflected learning experience regarding the student's understanding of significance for scientific publishing.
