Abstract:Abstract. The objective of this study is to define criteria in current development of Industrial Engineering (IE) education on the basis of studies and concepts published in commonly accessible databases and knowledge exchange platforms. General assumption of the study is that the universal criteria used in developing IE study programs are already defined and some experiences on their use are already published. The expected outcome of the study is to identify the criteria that could support the development of … Show more
“…Furthermore, the discussion of the results should also refer to the teaching and learning context as perceived not only from the perspective of methods but also from other factors that have experience and quality building roles. A more holistic perspective on quality of engineering education has methods and programs at its interest but also considers employees and organization, equipment and infrastructure [19], industry and R&D partners and networks of relationships, administration and financing possibilities and opportunities [20]. Perhaps, starting development strategy with teaching and learning methods is a good approach, but it would certainly be more efficient with the support in other areas within a more comprehensive program of a change.…”
Knowledge-based learning has been the emphasized pedagogy and balanced with skills-based learning in Engineering education for the last six decades. Students have learned and gained their experiences mainly from lectures, assignments, laboratory sessions, project works, and a final-year project or a dissertation. Besides pedagogy improvement, several teaching and learning methods such as problem-based learning, project-based learning, virtual classroom, etc., have been introduced and applied to offer a variety of learning activities to enhance graduates' competence. This paper presents an analysis of the learning experience that students gain from current teaching and learning methods instructors are using. A survey was conducted on both European and Thai instructors in Industrial Engineering departments and related fields on teaching and learning methods that they normally use and that are effective in their opinion. The survey results were analyzed and mapped on learning experience model called 'LOVE' that classifies learning activities based on the nature of learning and student involvement to draw insight about experience students gain.

“…As mentioned in the introduction, WSH master program could be organized in a way to fit IE field of studying. Certainly, the knowledge and competence program learning outcomes would be much different of those of mainstream IE master programs (Rui M Lima, Mesquita, Amorim, Jonker, & Flores, 2012;Rui Manuel Lima et al, 2017) but the connection is strong enough to keep it under IE flag judging by the program criteria and content of the courses (Nitkiewicz & Ayen, 2018). The analyzed master program in WSH is offered at Częstochowa University of Technology.…”
Section: Description Of the Msc In Work Safety And Hygiene Programmentioning
Managing quality of education is difficult and diversified task. Certainly, at the very center of quality assurance is experience that students and graduates get throughout their education course. One of the factors influencing these experiences are teaching methods. The objective of the paper is to assess the experience of Workplace Safety and Hygiene master program students of with regard to teaching and learning methods and Industry 4.0 readiness. The objective is realized through interpretation of the survey results that was made within MSIE4.0 project among the students of different industrial engineering master programs. Additionally, the program and courses documentation is interpreted in accordance to the ‘LOVE’ model approach to assess education experience. The sample of the survey is based on MSc students of Workplace Safety and Hygiene that are held at Częstochowa University of Technology. As the study shows, there are some drawbacks of the program with regard to immersive approach to learning and more active students engagement. The readiness to Industry 4.0 requirements is not really visible and some purposeful actions should be made in order to make the program part of activities addressing this economic and social challenge.
“…This needs to be done by industry in cooperation with the academic program leaders. Revisiting and revising program educational objectives on a three-year cycle allows the program to remain aligned to the demands of industry (Nitkiewicz and Ayen, 2018).…”
Paper describes the procedure for developing academic programs which are properly aligned to the requirements of the knowledge-based economy. The paper also addresses the continuous quality improvement (CQI) process with the CQI loop closing on the program level and the course level. This process is needed to make continuous adjustments to an academic program, so that the program is always aligned to the constantly-changing needs of the economy. Paper also discusses the system of mutual dependency between the academic program and external partnership like local industry, secondary schools, local government, local community, regional business incubator center, other educational institutions, alumni and industrial advisory council. The ongoing collaboration with external partners allows the program to prosper and grow.
