Project description

Qualitative changes taking place in education should be directed to meet the requirements of the labour market, which requires a competitive specialist with a high-level professional qualification, who has sufficient competence and is able to quickly adapt to the changing conditions of the production process. One of the possible directions for the development of professional engineering education at the current stage is the use of modern information technologies and dynamic training materials for the initial acquaintance with BIM technologies (Building Information Modeling is an intelligent three-dimensional model process that simultaneously allows the processing of architecture, design and construction data (AEC) for more efficient planning, design, construction, reconstruction and management of infrastructure during the whole period of the operation of the building), which, in turn, will allow students to be more prepared for the study of professional disciplines.

The project is transnational and including partners from Estonia, Lithuania, Poland, Croatia and Turkey.

The project plans are to create training materials intended for use in different target groups, for people with different levels of training.

The task of any training material is to ensure the acquisition of knowledge and skills, continuity and accessibility of training.

The more accessible and interesting the content of the training product, the more accurately and clearly the student see the process of passing the tests and performing graphic tasks, to what extent the training material has been studied and if it requires a re-examination. This means a higher value and quality of the created product.

Project innovation

The project has a positive impact on the participants since it allows analyzing the experience of other countries. This experience can be used for standardising the levels of competencies and improving the organization of the learning process.

The results of this project focused on innovative higher education, make it possible to improve the quality and productivity of the learning process in participating organizations. The project improves the interaction of partner schools and has a positive social impact through increased communication and competitiveness of graduates.

The project has a positive impact on target groups in the following:

- educational impact through improving the quality and innovation of the learning process,

- allows the learning process to become more accessible and individual,

- to make the learning process more attractive and more understandable through visualization.

For other interested parties, the project also has a positive impact, because due to its openness and accessibility, the product can be used by teachers from different educational institutions, as well as by people who would like to increase their level of knowledge and broaden their horizons.

The structure and concept of the product will allow it to be developed further in the future for the exchange of knowledge, curricula, lecture materials, teaching materials, scientific publications, as well as the creation of new models and their modifications.

The objects of the project are digihouse simulators.

For the modelling of the digihouse, associated partner - TIMBECO LLC (timbeco.ee) drawings of near-zero energy small houses have been used.

The compiler of the set of drawings is Mihkel Urmet (TEMPT architects).

In the spring of 2020, fruitful cooperation began with the developer of Griffel Studio visualization software to create interactive educational material.

This is a wonderful experience of cooperation between the enterprise and higher education!
