Best practices for time-management of student groups with heterogeneous effort

The daily work of an engineer in industry is affected by project work; often more than one project at a time. Consequently, time and self-management is an important part of the education of future engineers and scientists. Students of electrical engineering and computer science at the University of Siegen have a student project work in their curricula to deepen hard skills and to learn soft skills, like teamwork, organization and time-management. Often these groups consist of students with heterogeneous requirements in terms of working hours. In this contribution, the authors present a good practice for time-management of groups with heterogeneous working-time.
