The students worked on establishing criteria to analyse the female students’ situation and the demands to the OMNet system in co-operation with the TU Vienna partners.

The students learned to phrase questions of science, to apply various ways of analysis and their pros and cons.

• Analysis of the status quo to work out the female students’ requirements; supporting their partners’ research project.
• Online feedback module and automatic evaluation.
• Conditioning and publishing the results.

Attractiveness for students
