Project Summary

This projects comes as a solution to the need of developing the higher education capacity & offerings in Uzbekistan in the field of Mechatronics. The main aim of the project is to develop Bachelor’s degree program in the field of Mechatronics; to improve the mechatronic’s specialists knowledge in Automation sphere, to support the capacity building of higher education institutions and to make contribution for the sustanaibility of Mechatronics. This will be achieved through the following concrete results: 1 ECTS-accredited Bachelors Programme in Mechatronics at 5 universities from Uzbekistan (12 courses)6 new Bachelors courses 16 updated courses (Bachelors & Masters) 1 course for Mechatronics teachers & enginneers (i.e. train the trainers) 6 new mechatronic Industry 4.0 labs (with 3D printers)5800 students being tought with the new curricula 31 academic staff trained 1 Methodology for university-industry collaboration in Mechatronics 1 Training Centre for teachers of special subjects and engineers and Mechatronics Society for promoting research1 web platform for online learning & collaboration Impact:An innovative internationally co-developed BSc program in Mechatronics (as well as improved courses from other programs) that will equip graduates with the necessary skills to succeed at their future workplace.A cutting-edge teacher training centre & course which will become the leading facility for Mechatronics “train thenabling best practice multiplication across all universities & training centres from Uzbekistan – leading to internationally trained staff capable to prepare graduates for international markets. A state of the art network of Industry 4.0 laboratories which will modernize the infrastructure of universities and help them truly deliver a top-class program in Mechatronics while also enabling social engagement (i.e. FabLab) and co-creation with industry. Fulfilling universities’ missions according to the national priorities.
