The Institute of Astronautics (LRT) at the Technische Universität München gathered during the last years experience in the area of implementing Concurrent Design Center (CDC) in industry. It was both involved in the implementation of the Satellite Design Office at Astrium in Friedrichshafen and in Ottobrunn and developed a software tool to support the development process in the SDO. It was also involved in the implementation of a design center at Fairchild Dornier Corporation (Finkel et. all, 2002). To teach the students the idea of concurrent engineering besides system modeling and systems engineering, the institute decided to provide a workshop for students during which they will learn these ideas. To achieve this goal, a small CDC, called Space System Concept Center (S 2 C 2 ), was established at the institute. This paper describes the workshop and the experience gathered during the last workshops. It outlines the process and team size required to perform a workshop in an educational environment.
