International project-oriented training of engineers based on the example of the European Engineering Team
Journal Title: e-mentor - Year 2018, Vol 74, Issue 2
Abstract
The authors present their analysis, from the viewpoint of competence development and achievement of learning outcomes, of the first round of the innovative teaching program "European Engineering Team", which was implemented within the framework of the ERASMUS+ initiative. The innovativeness of the program lies in its orientation to engineering projects, which the technical university master course curriculum is enriched with, and the cooperation of four European technical universities. The students independently select and specify engineering problems related to sustainable development. The formula of the program changes the traditional approach to mobility known from other ERASMUS+ activities. During its implementation the students participated in four international meetings, consultations, web conferences and teleconferences, which is in line with the current trends of the global labor market. Between the direct meetings, they have cooperated with each other remotely, simultaneously participating in the regular courses at their home technical universities. The aim of the project was to verify the effectiveness of the proposed approach towards inter-institutional initiatives using blended teaching methods. This approach is aimed at developing competences in the area of defining engineering problems within the framework of sustainable development, the cooperation in international and geographically dispersed teams and working in interdisciplinary projects while utilizing the knowledge from many disciplines. The approach proved to be effective and the students' competences in the assumed areas have increased significantly. At the same time, the experience gained has allowed to identify the areas in which learning outcomes can be increased and the focus will be placed on them in the next round of the program.
