This project comes as a solution to the need of developing the higher education capacity & offerings in Uzbekistan in the field of Mechatronics. The main objective of the program is to develop a continuous education program to train a new generation of engineers well capable of performing constructive engineering works and meeting today’s technological challenges by development of a new curriculum.
The main aim of the project is to develop bachelor’s degree program in the field of Mechatronics; to improve the mechatronics’ specialist’s knowledge in Automation sphere, to support the capacity building of higher education institutions and to make contribution for the sustainability of Mechatronics.
Likewise, the project aims to maintain further cooperation between HEIs of PrCs and Uzbekistan in order to ensure quality of higher education continuously. This project provides great opportunity to involved HEIs to teach their students and train their faculty/staff internationally. Most importantly, an exemplary continuous education program in Mechatronics will be developed in Uzbekistan upon successful completion of the project.
Aims of the project will be reached through building up following objectives of the project:
- Developing and implementing a new scheme of cooperation for university-industry links based on EU skills in Mechatronics sphere.
- Developing standards and curricula, courses, teaching methods, materials and tools (soft skills) in the field of Mechatronics.
- Developing and implementing new courses for teachers, staff and engineers of the enterprises.
- Training teachers from HEIs in Uzbekistan with teaching methodologies based on Mechatronics at EU partner universities.
- Developing and publishing a new generation of handbooks/manuals for direction of Mechatronics.
- Establishing the Innovation laboratories (I-LAB), Training Centre and Mechatronics Society of Uzbekistan for disseminate the results of project.
- Testing, adapting and accrediting curriculum, materials and methods.
- Transferring the recommendations of the new model of education system to other sectors of the Uzbek economy.
