Summary
The project aims to align the educational offer of the Lublin University of Technology with the needs of economic development as well as the green and digital transition by:
-
launching three new degree programmes: Technical Computer Science (90 students), Cybersecurity (90 students), and AI in Business Solutions (30 students),
-
updating the second-cycle programme in Computer Science by introducing a new specialization: “AI Engineering” (17 students),
-
designing and implementing modern curricula developed in cooperation with socio-economic partners and aligned with labour market needs,
-
supporting the teaching process through the development of learning materials for courses included in the newly created programmes and specialization,
-
improving the competencies/qualifications of academic staff involved in teaching within the supported programmes and specialization,
-
enhancing the educational offer through additional activities aimed at reducing early dropout, classes delivered by practitioners, and study visits.
Key results
-
improved competencies for at least 130 students enrolled in the programmes covered by the project,
-
improved digital and green-transition competencies/qualifications for at least 175 members of academic staff involved in teaching within the supported programmes, directly contributing to better alignment of education with economic needs and the digital/green transition,
-
strengthened cooperation between the Lublin University of Technology and the socio-economic environment, especially IT and AI companies, to define graduate profiles in line with labour market needs.
Main tasks
-
developing three new degree programmes and one specialization aligned with labour market needs,
-
delivering the degree programmes together with additional forms of student support and enhancements to the teaching base,
-
developing the competencies of academic staff.
Planned activities
-
meetings with IT and AI industry representatives to define graduate profiles,
-
development and implementation of curricula aligned with market needs,
-
preparation of teaching materials for courses included in the newly created programmes and specialization,
-
remedial classes to reduce early dropout,
-
training and courses for academic staff in digital competencies and green-transition skills,
-
expanding the educational offer with practitioner-led classes, study visits, and internships.
Target groups
-
students of the new programmes (Technical Computer Science, Cybersecurity, AI in Business Solutions) and the new specialization “AI Engineering” – 227 people in total (including 24 women),
-
academic staff involved in teaching within the new programmes and specialization – 194 people (including 73 women).
Academic disciplines
The programmes Technical Computer Science and Cybersecurity will be assigned to the scientific discipline Computer Science and Telecommunications. The second-cycle programme Computer Science, which will be updated, is also assigned to the same discipline. The newly created programme AI in Business Solutions will be assigned to the scientific discipline Management and Quality Sciences. Teaching within these programmes will be delivered by academic staff conducting research in the respective disciplines. As part of the curriculum, students will also be prepared to conduct research in these areas.
