In university teaching the motif of a skill-oriented education is changing to a competency-based. In natural sciences competency can be roughly divided into technical and interdisciplinary competences. In particular, the conveyance of key qualifications is still insufficient in the teaching of natural sciences. While the classic teaching aims for acquisition of professional competence, just project-oriented approaches quickly reach their limits according to participant size or scope of the learning content. To enable the acquisition of interdisciplinary competences in an appropriate way, new teaching concepts are required, which provide a closer link between traditional lectures and project-based learning. The outlined approach of the "coordinated project course" (KoProV: Koordinierte Projekt Vorlesung) tries to link knowledge transfer in the context of lectures with coordinated practical phases in subgroups. For a successful implementation and development of the accompanying practice project by several subgroups, organizational and technical conditions must be observed. This paper describes the concept of KoProV as well as its application in a modeling and simulation course at the University of Paderborn.
