In this podcast, Werner Lienhart from the Institute of Engineering Geodesy and Measurement Systems talks about the numerous aspects of teaching geodesy. He explains how students at TU Graz are prepared for the challenges of their field through practical teaching methods – from real measurements on bridges and tunnel construction sites to working with digital twins and sensor technology. He emphasizes the importance of the interplay between theory and practice, the role of lightbulb moments in the learning process and the influence of engineering geodesy on sustainability and infrastructure monitoring. An insight into a fascinating discipline that encompasses much more than you might think.
