Prof. Manfred Bischoff, Director of the Institute for Structural Mechanics (IBB), has been awarded the “Lehrpreis 2018” by the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering Sciences of the University of Stuttgart.
The decision to award the prize is not made by the faculty, but by the students on the basis of an online survey. In her laudation, civil engineering student Silke Schönstedt highlighted Bischoff's ability to convey the technically demanding fundamentals of structural mechanics ("Baustatik"), one of the most selective compulsory courses in the bachelor's programme in civil engineering, in a seemingly easy manner. She appreciated his and his entire team's extraordinary dedication beyond the usual teaching and research activities, including his "Swabian poetry" and his impressive presence at various departmental festivities throughout the year.
