In the context of this study n = 16 students in the diploma program in mechanical engineering created concept maps (Cmaps) on the content of the lecture previously given in the module "Control of Production Machines and Systems". The cmaps were then evaluated according to three criteria described in more detail here. As a basis for the evaluation of the individual cmaps, they were compared with a reference map prepared by three experts in the field of mechatronics within the scope of this study. Immediately after the creation of the maps, the students answered a questionnaire that included demographic data as well as a self-assessment survey on concept mapping. The 10 items of this sheet are assigned to the subject characteristics interestingness, usefulness and manageability. The subject characteristics and evaluation criteria were examined for initial dependencies. The tendency showed that the students generally evaluate the method of concept mapping as positive, despite first-time application and shortened introduction.
