Diversity of Teaching at ETH
Multiple Departments
With the fast-paced documentary series "Diversity of Teaching at ETH," we illuminate the rich tapestry of teaching techniques at ETH Zurich. Each documentary video features an innovative teaching style practiced at ETH. This series is a collaboration across multiple departments at ETH.

Electric Power Transmission
D-ITET - Dept. of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering
Prof. Christian Franck combines his lecture with clicker-questions in class, preparational homework exercises, experiments, and other engaging activites to meet the diverse needs of his large classes.
Student Project Work Electrical Engineering
D-ITET - Dept. of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering
Dr. Michele Magno offers his BA students the opportunity to face real-world problems at the Center for Project-Based Learning. This allows the students to really combine theoretical knowledge with hands-on practical experiences.
Laboratory Course in Food Chemistry
Prof. Dr. Laura Nyström & Dr. Melanie Erzinger
D-HEST - Dept. of Health Sciences and Technology
In the course Prof. Laura Nyström and Dr. Melanie Erzinger nurture the diversity of their students' learning habits and combine theoretical with practical approaches, while striving to make the most out of their time spent in the laboratory.
Nanomaterials for Photonics
In her course "Nanomaterials for Photonics", Prof. Rachel Grange trains her students to become the engineers of tomorrow.
Big Data
D-INFK - Dept. of Computer Science
Dr. Ghislain Fourny teaches in a hybrid set-up and fosters active student engagement in his lectures by inviting them to ask questions, both in-person and in a curated Zoom-chat.
Forensic Geotechnical Engineering
D-BAUG - Dept. of Civil, Environmental and Geomatic Engineering
In his course "Forensic Geotechnical Engineering", Prof. Alexander Puzrin investigates famous failure cases with his students.
Wasserbau
Prof. Robert Boes
D-BAUG - Dept. of Civil, Environmental and Geomatic Engineering
Der Kurs "Wasserbau" von Prof. Robert Boes kombiniert verschiedene Lehrelemente miteinander: Vorlesung, Vortragsübung, Exkursion, Lehrmodelle und Laborübungen. "Ziel ist das Verständnis für die Prozesse zu steigern."
Teamarbeit, Interprofessionalität und eigene Karriere
PD Michaela Kolbe, PD Bastian Grande und Andrina Nef
D-HEST - Dept. Gesundheitswissenschaften und Technologie
Am Simulationszentrum werden Theorie und Praxis zusammengeführt und den Studierenden die Gelegenheit gegeben, in simulierten Situationen ihre Fähigkeiten zu trainieren.
Sustainable Agroecosystems
D-USYS - Dept. of Environmental Systems Science
Combining lectures, a hands-on challenge in the greenhouse, and an excursion to a farm, students of the course "Sustainable Agroecosystems 1" learn to reflect on and critically examine agricultural management practices in different contexts.
Environmental Measurement Lab
Prof. Dr. Andrea Carminati & Dr. Peter Lehmann
D-USYS - Dept. of Environmental Systems Science
In their course Prof. Andrea Carminati and Dr. Peter Lehmann measure and analyse the soil moisture of different soil layers together with their students.
Introduction to Agricultural Robotics
D-USYS - Dept. of Environmental Systems Science
Prof. Stefano Mintchev provides an in-depth overview of robotic systems, starting from their fundamental components and progressing to the system level. In his course students explore and experiment with these concepts in real-life scenarios.
Translation Neuroscience
Prof. Dr. Johannes Bohacek & Prof. Dr. Katharina Gapp
D-HEST - Dept. of Health Sciences and Technology
In this course, Prof. Katharina Gapp and Prof. Johannes Bohacek, bring together two perspectives on how to understand why people suffer from certain brain diseases and how can we treat these diseases.
Management of Digital Transformation
D-MTEC - Dept. of Management, Technology, and Economics
Prof. Elgar Fleisch prepares his students for the digital complexities of the modern world.
Management von natürlichen Ressourcen im Wallis
Dr. Tamaki Ohmura & Prof. Harald Bugmann
D-USYS - Dep. of Environmental Systems Science
Was ist ein Murgang und wie viele Ressourcen müssen investiert werden um so eine Naturkraft zu bewältigen? Das zeigen Dr. Tamaki Ohmura und Prof. Harald Bugmann in ihrem Kurs "Management von natürlichen Ressourcen (Exkursion Wallis)", indem sie die Studierenden vor Ort in die komplexen Zusammenhänge des natürlichen Ressourcenmanagements einführen.
Physik I
Prof. Leonardo Degiorgi ergänzt seine Vorlesung mit Videoübungen, Podcasts, Konzeptfragen, Experimenten und Diskussionsrunden.
Analysis I / II for Materials Science and Mechanical Engineering
Dr. Andreas Steiger gibt seinen Studierenden diverse Möglichkeiten, wie sie sich mit dem Lehrmaterial auseinandersetzen können: die live-Vorlseung, Skripte, Vorlesungsnotizen sowie Aufzeichnungen.
