Project Summary

Over the past 50 years, the continued miniaturization of transistors has allowed them to run faster and dissipate less energy. This meant more efficient computation and radical changes in the electronics industry. On the same time, automation and robotics have also developed all these years to an unprecedented level: faster and more flexible production lines and higher level of automation have been created.This radical change affected all the industrial and societal sectors, and it is difficult for a country to keep-up to the globalization changes, if its educational system does not keep-up with these. For specific regions of Asia however, this process have not been developed adequately. To this end, the Digi-CHE-Asia project focuses on enhancing the Digital Capacities of these countries through specific actions and cross-fertilization of ideas and methodologies with successful examples from Europe.The Digi-CHE-Asia project has 3 main pillars: a) the enhancement of undergraduate studies via suggestions to optimize curricula, b) the development of an innovative MSc programme in relation also with VET courses for professionals and c) the inclusion of public and private stakeholders, especially from the manufacturing and high-tech industry in order to give the opportunity to students and professionals to increase their capacities in Electronics, Automation and Robotics (EAR) and thus becoming invaluable assets to the modern industries.Additionally, Digi-CHE-Labs will be created in order to create a focal point of EAR in each University, where interested students, academics, professionals and industry experts will have the opportunity to exchange ideas and keep up-to-date with the new technological advancements.It is expected that the Digi-CHE-Asia project will have an important impact at academic, industrial and societal level, allowing the participating countries to become important players in the manufacturing and high-tech industry.
