Michael Striewe

Michael Striewe is a prominent academic in the fields of software engineering and educational technology. Currently, he serves as a scientific assistant at the University of Duisburg-Essen, but will transition to a professorial role at Trier University of Applied Sciences in October 2024. He holds a Ph.D. from paluno - The Ruhr Institute for Software Technology, where his thesis focused on automated assessment of programming and modeling tasks. Striewe's research spans integrated e-assessment systems, software engineering methods, and competency-based feedback mechanisms. His work emphasizes technology-enhanced assessment, including automated grading and domain-specific task generation. He has contributed to projects like the JACK e-assessment system and co-authored an anthology on automated assessment in programming education.

Striewe is actively involved in academic communities, serving on committees for conferences such as DELFI, ITiCSE, and TEA. He chairs workshops on topics like automatic assessment of programming tasks and software engineering for e-learning systems. His teaching roles include membership in examination boards for computer science and applied computer science programs. He has led master’s project groups on topics like variability in programming tasks and e-assessment using text analysis.

Striewe’s research interests include graph grammars, UML modeling, software performance engineering, and educational technologies. His recent publications focus on modularizing e-assessment systems, analyzing collusion in online exams, and developing competence models for graphical modeling. He has addressed challenges in digitalizing chemistry exercises and improving the scalability of assessment frameworks.
