Study Strategies for Engineering Students at DTU

Abstract
The study strategies of first year Master students are investigated at DTU fall 1999 - spring 2002. The results show that the students study less than their teachers expect. And they spend most time on activities not leading to deep understanding and engineering competencies. The students spend almost half of their study time on theoretical calculations and only little on authentic problems.
They attend many lectures but read very little. This may be a reasonable response to the teaching and examination they encounter; but not with respect to learning. Changing the teaching structure at DTU has activated the students, but not significantly increased their independent studying.
