Abstract—In this paper we present the current status of the
development of an M.Eng.-program in Q&R (Quality and
Reliability). The course is to be completed in part time and with
distant learning in a blended learning approach. This project is
driven by the strong demand from industry and society for
well-trained Q&R-Engineers and is funded by the German
Government and part of Phase II of the Open-e-University
project. Course content, instruction design, and teaching methods
will be outlined.
Index Terms—Distant learning course design, blended
learning, quality and reliability, sustainable infrastructure for
further education, non-traditional students.
