Project-based group learning
Project-based group learning, implemented since 2006 at TUSUR, relies on practice to reinforce knowledge, as well as project, research and managerial skills by developing innovative projects. As a rule, these projects aim to create devices, systems or software products with a prospect of commercialization.
This concept is aligned with standards elaborated by Worldwide CDIO Initiative. Established in the early 2000 this international association of leading universities and engineering schools counts more than 100 institutions promoting project-based education, and in 2013 TUSUR was among the first Russian universities to join this community.
Each project embodies innovative ideas and proposals to be implemented in novel science-intensive products and technologies that are in high demand in the market or in particular industry.
Third- and fourth-year students are usually selected to form project teams. After individual curriculum for a project team is worked out and approved, participation in the project-based learning is regarded as mandatory for such students.
Activities of the project team are an integral part of training for those who pursue a specialist degree. Implementation of an idea goes through all principal stages of a development effort: from technical assignment to a prototype or a pilot lot.
Individual curriculum envisages introduction of certain disciplines required for project development (participant education), as well as replacement of some learning activities (i. e. course papers and projects, internships, laboratory-based work etc.) with relevant project activities within the framework of team project learning.
Departments arrange specialized laboratories for implementation of projects, creating workplaces for students and shared use sites for mounting, modeling, testing etc. Laboratories are furnished with computers and necessary measurement and production equipment.
Here below is the list of the ongoing projects:
