Scientific Abstract

The ENG- INC project has come to strengthen the capacity and quality of higher education in engineering to respond to increased demand for qualified engineers by the new global economy. Concentrating on the critical gaps of engineering curricula, it shall provide a better understanding both in practical and theoretical knowledge toward professional success. Strategic integration in the innovation of teaching will encompass not only academic improvement but also the assurance of employability by affording the students hands-on experiences that can meet today's industrial demands through the incorporation of virtual and remote labs, problem-based learning, and ECTS. 


The project will promote knowledge transfer and the elaboration of customized training programs for both academic staff and students through active collaboration with European higher education institutions recognized for their expertise in modern teaching methodologies. In this way, it will bridge the gap between academic knowledge and the needs of industry, making graduates capable of meeting the challenges of local and regional labor markets, especially those that are growing fast, such as technology and sustainable engineering.


The latent message of this project, therefore, is inclusiveness. Equal attention will, therefore, be paid to the disabled, underprivileged, and deprived groups so as to allow them equal chances to compete at better opportunities with others. The project includes accessible learning tools, adaptive technologies, and support systems that reduce barriers to access and allow all students, specially the targeted ones, to benefit from the improved curriculum and methodologies.
