Disruptive Technology, 1919

Gründer des Bauhauses 1919: Walter Gropius Architekt

Walter Gropius Manifest 1919: Das Endziel aller bildnerischen Tätigkeit ist der Bau! Ihn zu schmücken war einst die vornehmste Aufgabe der bildenden Künste, sie waren unablösliche Bestandteile der großen Baukunst. Heute stehen sie in selbstgenügsamer Eigenheit, aus der sie erst wieder erlöst werden können durch bewusstes Mit- und Ineinanderwirken aller Werkleute untereinander. … Bilden wir also eine neue Zunft der Handwerker ohne die klassentrennende Anmaßung, die eine hochmütige Mauer zwischen Handwerkern und Künstlern errichten wollte! Wollen, erdenken, erschaffen wir gemeinsam den neuen Bau der Zukunft, der alles in einer Gestalt sein wird: Architektur und Plastik und Malerei, der aus Millionen Händen der Handwerker einst gen Himmel steigen wird als kristallenes Sinnbild eines neuen kommenden Glaubens.

The Bauhaus Manifesto

Walter Gropius, “Bauhaus Manifesto and Program” (1919)

The ultimate aim of all visual arts is the complete building! To embellish buildings was once the noblest function of the fine arts; they were the indispensable components of great . Today the arts exist in isolation, from which they can be rescued only through the conscious, cooperative effort of all craftsmen. Architects, painters, and sculptors must recognize anew and learn to grasp the composite character of a building both as an entity and in its separate parts. … Let us then create a new guild of craftsmen without the class distinctions that raise an arrogant barrier between craftsman and artist! Together let us desire, conceive, and create the new structure of the future, which will embrace architecture and sculpture and in one unity and which will one day rise toward heaven from the hands of a million workers like the crystal symbol of a new faith. Walter Gropius

1926 Under the supervision of the architect Otto Bartning, the University reopened and offered regular courses in architecture for the first time.

1930 The University underwent radical reform based on traditional and nationally oriented values.

1946 The University was re-established in the spirit of anti- fascism and democracy. It focused on humanistic traditions, and initially, even on the Bauhaus principles.

History of the University, III

1954 The University received a rectorial constitution. With the introduction of the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Faculty of Building Materials Science and Technology, it was renamed the College of Architecture and Civil Engineering. It would become the most influential school of civil engineering in the GDR. 1996 After restructuring the existing faculties and establishing the Faculty of Art and Design (1993) and the Faculty of Media (1996), the college positioned itself to pursue the newest developments in design and technology. Adhering to the Bauhaus goal of uniting art and technology, it focused on creating a unique profile of subjects with an artistic-technical orientation. It was officially renamed the »Bauhaus-Universität Weimar«. 2019 City, university and other institutions will celebrate Bauhaus 100 years of Bauhaus

Accreditation of study programs

Criteria for good study programs: https://www.hrk.de/uploads/media/ES European Standards and Guidelines G_German_and_English_2015.pdf Higher education aims to fulfil multiple purposes; including preparing students for active citizenship, for their future careers (e.g. contributing to their employability (“Beschäftigungsfähigkeit”)), supporting their personal development, creating a broad advanced knowledge base and stimulating research and innovation. Therefore, stakeholders, who may prioritise different purposes, can view quality in higher education differently and quality assurance needs to take into account these different perspectives. Quality, whilst not easy to define, is mainly a result of the interaction between teachers, students and the institutional learning environment.

Since 01-2018 the German Accreditation Council has 8 academic members, appointed for a period of 4 years.

Professionalism and Employability

Fachlichkeit und Beruflichkeit in der Akkreditierung Final Report and Recommendations der Arbeitsgruppe Fachlichkeit und Beruflichkeit des Akkreditierungsrates vom 06.02.2015

After intensive consultations and discussions, the working group has come to the result that the importance of the subjects professionalism and employability requires a revaluation.

Reference systems for professionalism, which are competence-oriented, can be applied, if the faculty asks for it in the accreditation process. If a university wants to apply such requirement catalogues, the decisions made on that basis shall be part of the accreditation process and be transparently documented. http://www.akkreditierungsrat.de/fileadmin/Seiteninhalte/AR/Veroeffentlichungen/Berichte/AR_Abschluss bericht_AGFachlichkeit.pdf

State chambers of engineers

Federal Chamber of Engineers, Berlin https://bingk.de/english-summary/

Chambers are official bodies of the Länder.

Around 43,000 engineers are organized in the State Chambers of engineers, including around 15,000 Consulting Engineers as mandatory members and around 25,000 voluntary members.

What is “mostly maths, informatics, natural sciences and technique“? 50 % STEM, ? in German: MINT 70 % STEM?

4ING Fakultätentage www.4ing.net German Council of University Faculties in Engineering and Informatics representing 2500 professors, 15.000 scientific employees, 135.000 students in mechanical, electrical, civil engineering and informatics.

The German society has about 1.600.000 engineers. Around 43,000 engineers are organized in the State Chambers of engineers (  2,5 % of total). Chambers (=official bodies, compulsory membership) tend to be very conservative

Fit for today, ready for tomorrow, adaptable for the future

Make yourself a critical thinker Practice interdisciplinary projects Do a number of project based learning items Strengthen teamwork Go for flat or flipped hierarchies Self-organize group work processes Learn how to use internet, tutorials, moogs etc. Go for help in social networks, ask the cloud Require role-shift of the professor from teacher to moderator and facilitator
