Engineer Education

In today’s higher education, the development of competencies based on the needs of the labour market, the role of practical training and the application of student-centred teaching methods are becoming more and more important. A particularly important question in engineering education is which abilities and skills are important for an engineer in a rapidly changing, information-based society. Therefore, in addition to hard skills, the development of soft skills also plays an important role. Our research was aimed at mapping the competencies of engineering informatics students and determining development opportunities. The Hungarian version of the Big Five Questionnaire (BFQ) was used to examine the students’ personalities. The results of the research showed that the students’ soft skills must be developed – especially in the areas of openness, communication and cooperation. Students’ personality development can be facilitated by courses that focus on self-knowledge and self-esteem, as well as opportunities for cooperation, adaptation, building trust, empathy, and helpfulness. Cooperative methods, collaborative learning, the project method and problem-based learning can also play an important role in higher education.

Education Process

Today's economic development is dynamic, closely connected with high technology applications, a growth in intellectual capital and widespread innovations. Most economically developed countries realise the need to create new solutions to present or upcoming problems. Creating a modern innovative, educational, scientific and technological infrastructure becomes an important issue. The 21st century sets new challenges to future engineering specialists. The paper analyses the currently demanded engineering competencies and modern requirements to engineer training in order to prepare reliable specialists for the labour market. The purpose of this paper is to present a brief analysis of the syllabi and the content of the separate disciplines which ensure qualified student education. An attempt to include geometrical dimensioning and tolerance in design education at TU – Varna was reported in this paper, standards which are the core of geometrical product specifications inevitably required in the age of globalization of industry. The paper gives some hints how to teach efficiently the new generation of GPS standards at the mechanical engineering faculty.
