Abstract	Forschungsmethode: deskriptiv. The study presented here is the result of a research trip the author took across the USA financed by the Fulbright Commission. "Several objectives were set in the development of the study. First, the study was designed to describe, in some detail, the structure and activities of engineering programs exemplifying different approaches to experiential learning. Second, the learning outcomes of this approach needed identification, especially in comparison to the regular curriculum. Next, the activities producing these outcomes needed exploration and more precise identification. Finally, the broad impact of experiential learning on student and faculty roles and on the institution needed clarification." The outcome can transport some ideas about the American trial for solution of the problem to connect theory and practice to the West-German system of engineering education. (author's abstract) ((en))
