Short description of the project:
Chemical engineering and technology are the foundation of innovative fields such as: nanotechnology, biotechnology, and also modern technologies of medicine production. The growing demand for innovative products makes the demand for chemical engineering and technology specialists growing as quickly as the development of our civilisation. To fulfil these requirements, it is necessary to analyse and improve the effectiveness of higher education of the graduates majoring in Chemical Engineering and Technology in Europe.
The strategic aim of this project is the development and implementation of the unified module of English courses into the curriculum of Chemical Engineering and Technology according to the Bologna process and the best practices created by the project members which are formed by the universities from member countries. The Project Coordinator is Cracow University of Technology, Poland, and three partners are: Muenster University of Applied Sciences (FH-MS), Germany, National Graduate School of Engineering Chemistry of Lille (ENSCL), France, and The Polytechnic Institute of Bragança (IPB), Portugal.
The partnership will enable the development of novel IT educational tools and an online cooperation platform where the students will be able to learn, teach and co-create the content of the novel courses in Chemical engineering and technology. Moreover, the teaching component will be strengthen by the organization of 1 conference at the end of the project as well as 3 short-term joint staff training events. At the end of the project and EU funding, the developed modules of courses will be introduce into regular curriculum and will be accessible for all interested parties on an e-learning platform (open educational resources).
