Abstract:

The main objective of the project is to adapt the educational provision of the Lublin University of Technology to the needs of a modern economy and the green and digital transition by:

- developing and implementing modern study programmes, prepared in collaboration with the socio-economic environment and in line with the needs of the labour market, comprising three new Master’s degree programmes:

• Unmanned Aerial Systems Engineering;
• Production Automation and Robotisation;
• Energy,

- supporting the teaching process by preparing teaching materials for selected modules within the curriculum of the newly established degree programmes,

- enhancing the competences and qualifications of staff involved in the teaching process for the supported degree programmes,

- making the teaching programme more attractive through additional classes designed to enhance students’ skills, classes led by industry practitioners, and study visits.

The project is being implemented in close cooperation with a partner from the socio-economic sector – Farada Group Sp. z o.o. – which enables the direct alignment of study programmes with the actual needs of the labour market and practical industry standards.

 Main outcomes of the project:

- enhancing the skills of at least 90 students on the degree programmes covered by the project,

- enhancing the skills/qualifications of at least 30 members of staff involved in teaching on the degree programmes receiving support, which will directly contribute to aligning education with the needs of the economy and the digital/green transition,

- expanding cooperation between the Lublin University of Technology and the wider socio-economic environment, with a view to defining graduate profiles in line with the needs of the labour market.

Main tasks:

- to develop three new degree programmes tailored to the needs of the labour market,

- to deliver these programmes alongside additional support measures for students and measures to supplement the teaching infrastructure,

- to develop the competences of the teaching staff.

Activities planned as part of the project:

- meetings with representatives of the socio-economic environment to define the profile of graduates,

- development and implementation of study programmes in line with market needs,

- preparation of teaching materials for selected subjects included in the curriculum of the newly established degree programmes,

- provision of remedial classes to reduce the incidence of early school leaving,

- providing training and courses for teaching staff in the skills required to deliver the degree programmes,

- enriching the academic programme with sessions led by practitioners, study visits and work placements,

- enriching the academic programme with external courses and training programmes leading to certificates or qualifications for students on specific degree programmes.

Project outcomes:

- Permanent adaptation of the academic programme: The introduction of three modern Master’s degree programmes addressing the challenges of critical technologies into the university’s permanent curriculum.

- Enhancement of participants’ qualifications: At least 99 people (including at least 72 students and at least 27 academic staff) will acquire or enhance their competences/qualifications.

- Modernisation of laboratory facilities: Creation and equipping of five innovative teaching laboratories utilising advanced simulation software, robotics and VR systems.

- Strengthening cooperation with the business community: Building a lasting partnership with Farada Group Sp. z o.o. and other industry enterprises through workshops, study visits and work placements.
