Project summary

SPACE.COM is aimed to adapt, modernize and restructure existing curricula in space systems and communication engineering; to develop new certified courses according to the new achievements in the area, the labor market demands and the Bologna Process; to test innovated curricula and to disseminate the results. The planned curricular reform will focus on the content, structure, teaching methods and the use of new teaching materials with regard to the European modernization agenda for higher education. Specific objectives are:- Analyses of educational needs in target area according to the market demands and current curricula review; - To design syllabi and course content and assessment for regular and continuing education courses in space systems and communication engineering to meet the user needs;- To adapt/develop new e-learning courses with modular structure for the innovated curricula of partner universities and to establish a platform and procedures for knowledge sharing;- To perform a pilot test and to start the implementation of the joint modules/courses delivery during the last project year;- Rapprochement of the HEI of PCs with the Labour Market;

Objectives

development guidance on learning strategies using modern educational technologiesdevelopment curricula, course content to meet the needs of the industryadaptation of new courses with modular structure for new curricula and establishment of knowledge sharing platform update existing BS/MS courses in the target area in line with Bologna requirementsdevelopment a documentation and establishment of laboratorylaunch pilot-test and implementation of joint courses during the last project year

Background

In Uzbekistan, much attention is paid to the issue of space systems and communication technologies, as one of the important factors in the sustainable development and competitiveness of the country. Therefore, training engineers qualified to work with modern solutions in the field of space and communications engineering is an important issue. 4 EU and 6 UZ universities and 3 non-academic partners actively participated in the development and implementation of study programs and courses of project

EU consortium members and specialists have retrained academic staff from Uzbek universities. Textbooks have been developed in co-authoring between EU and UZ professors and implemented to the study process. 12 laboratories and 6 C-offices established and implemented to the educational process << Results >> 3 new master's programs and 3 bachelor's programs were developed and accredited and 66 new and updated syllabi have been developed12 new Laboratories were created and developed the documentation package for themUniversity stakeholders use 6 C-Offices. 8 Monographs and textbooks, 247 articles, and supporting educational materials were developed1099 students studied developed/updated courses73 students enrolled to new programs, 34 have graduatedmore than 114 teachers got new experience
