Exzellente Lehre am MCI: Teaching Award 2021/22

In recognition of their outstanding teaching achievements, three lecturers received the MCI Teaching Award again this year, which has been presented annually since 2015. Based on the course evaluations of the students of all degree programmes within an academic year, the MCI University Board selects the award winners, taking into account, among other things, the scientific foundation, topicality, relevance and implementation possibilities of the content taught.

Anne Götzendorfer | Bachelor Bio- and Food Technology

Anne Götzendorfer has been teaching in the Bachelor Bio- and Food Technology at MCI since 2017 and devotes her teaching in particular to management-oriented business administration. Her students emphasise her didactic methods, her commitment and her enthusiasm, with which she makes her lectures lively and motivates them to participate.

Michael Meister | Bachelor Environmental, Process & Energy Engineering

Michael Meister has been a professor in teaching and research at the Department of Environmental, Process & Energy Engineering since 2017. His lectures include the areas of modelling and simulation of wastewater treatment plants as well as numerical flow simulations. His students particularly appreciate his ability to explain complex content simply using appropriate examples, which is one of the reasons why he has already received the Teaching Award for the second time.

Silvia Öttl | Bachelor Smart Building Technologies; Bachelor Environmental, Process & Energy Engineering

Silvia Öttl has been Senior Lecturer in the Smart Building Technologies degree programme since 2021 and teaches in the areas of mathematics, building physics and project management. Her students praise the high practical and application relevance of the content she teaches, the valuable feedback from mid-term exams and the pleasant atmosphere in the courses.

Deputy head of the MCI University College Claudia Mössenlechner is proud: "The success factors of excellent teaching are based on technical expertise and good didactics, but the human component in the learning process plays an equally important role. In any case, the winners of this year's Teaching Award have proven that they can inspire students for their subject and at the same time promote the courage to tackle challenges openly and actively."
