This article examines to what extent German tertiary education lives up to this expectation. The analysis of German module descriptions in engineering shows that there are no courses dedicated to creativity and that creativity and its techniques are mentioned only sparsely in the modules of the engineering curriculum. Surveys amongst our students show that they are usually familiar with techniques which are based on generating alternatives such as brainstorming and morphological box, but lack knowledge about techniques based on challenging assumptions such as forced connection. They tend to favour discursive techniques over intuitive ones and techniques which use generation of alternatives as an idea-generating principle. A combination of creativity techniques seems to be most conducive to creative output in our course. Finally, we present some first findings on creative sessions in remote work with the help of virtual whiteboards, which have gained in importance since the pandemic. Methodology - Firstly, we present an document analysis of the modules of Bachelor and Master programs of mechanical engineering at German universities and universities of applied sciences. Secondly, we present results from surveys in our Master course in "Innovation and Technology Management" where we gathered data from students over several years and performed an external evaluation of the output using Consensual Assessment Technique (CAT). These results include which creativity techniques the students know prior to the course and which they prefer as well as which techniques seem to be conducive to engineering creativity. Furthermore we surveyed their experiences with creative sessions as remote work. Conclusion - Overall, the article shows the importance to teach prospective engineers the basics in creativity. Students should have the opportunity to acquire knowledge about and apply different creativity techniques, as different techniques have different strengths and weaknesses and, thus, different areas of fruitful application. They should also have the chance to try out different modes such as in-person sessions and virtual sessions, as some of the future work will most likely shift online. Furthermore, a combination of different creativity techniques makes it more likely that engineers break through their usual systematic-analytic way of thinking and helps them to think outside the box to find creative solutions for the pressing problems of our time.}, subject = {Ingenieurstudium}, language = {en} } @incollection{Deckert2023, author = {Deckert, Carsten}, title = {Sustainable Logistics}, series = {Encyclopedia of Sustainable Management}, booktitle = {Encyclopedia of Sustainable Management}, publisher = {Springer Nature}, address = {Cham}, isbn = {9783031259838}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-031-25984-5_131}, pages = {3562 -- 3566}, year = {2023}, language = {en} } @incollection{Deckert2023, author = {Deckert, Carsten}, title = {Supply Chain}, series = {Encyclopedia of Sustainable Management}, booktitle = {Encyclopedia of Sustainable Management}, publisher = {Springer Nature}, address = {Cham}, isbn = {9783031259838}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-031-25984-5_132}, pages = {3212 -- 3214}, year = {2023}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{DeckertMohya2023, author = {Deckert, Carsten and Mohya, Ahmed}, title = {Teaching Sustainable Logistics As A Project-Based Learning Course}, series = {European Society for Engineering Education (SEFI), 11-14 September 2023, TUDublin, Ireland}, booktitle = {European Society for Engineering Education (SEFI), 11-14 September 2023, TUDublin, Ireland}, publisher = {TU Dublin}, address = {Dublin}, doi = {10.21427/9D3F-KA64}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:due62-opus-51182}, year = {2023}, abstract = {Sustainable logistics combines the task of the 6R of logistics (right product, right place, right time, right condition, right cost) with social and environmental sustainability, especially low emissions and low resource consumption. This means that a problem that is already challenging, namely planning, executing, and controlling logistical processes, gets even more complex and requires aspects of systems thinking to incorporate environmental and social impacts. Classical approaches of teaching, e.g. lectures with presentations and short exercises on closed problems, do not do justice to the complexity and intricacies of the topic sustainability. In such a context, projectbased learning (PBL) where students do group work on open-ended problems with real-world complexity seems to be a more adequate means to teach the subject. The paper describes a PBL course in which students worked on projects to conceptualize micro-depots for parcel delivery in different areas of D{\"u}sseldorf. A micro-depot is a temporary storage location in a city from which parcels can be delivered by cargo bikes. The aim was to locate the micro-depot, design the delivery routes, check the feasibility, and calculate the reduction of greenhouse gases and other emissions. The course was taught in cooperation with a partner from the courier, express, and parcel delivery industry. The paper describes the experiences with the course and gives recommendations for a successful implementation of PBL in courses on sustainability.}, subject = {Ingenieurstudium}, language = {en} } @techreport{DeckertKretschmarPlagge2024, author = {Deckert, Carsten and Kretschmar, Dominik and Plagge, Christoph}, title = {Auf einen gemeinsamen Nenner gebracht? - Reporting der Treibhausgas-Emissionen der Logistikunternehmen in Deutschland}, address = {D{\"u}sseldorf}, organization = {Hochschule D{\"u}sseldorf}, issn = {2627-8375}, doi = {10.20385/opus4-4313}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:due62-opus-43130}, year = {2024}, subject = {Logistik}, language = {de} } @inproceedings{DeckertMohya2022, author = {Deckert, Carsten and Mohya, Ahmed}, title = {Self-directed versus guided learning - searching for the sweet spot with lesson activities in Moodle}, series = {SEFI 50th Annual conference of The European Society for Engineering Education.

Online learning takes place between the poles of self-direction by the student and guidance by the lecturer. In this paper a first-semester course in industrial economics for engineers, which was taught in the self-directed learning format of flipped classroom, was enhanced with lesson activities in the Learning Management System (LMS) Moodle as a means of guided learning with student-content interaction. The paper describes the design and the evaluation of the lesson activities. For the evaluation a student survey to gather the opinions and self-assessments of the students was conducted, and statistical data from Moodle on the performance of the students were collected. The results of the student survey show an overall positive evaluation of the lesson activities by the students who participated in the lesson activities. Furthermore, the results of the statistical data about the students' performance show a relation between participation in the lesson activities and exam success.
