Environmental learning innovation for more knowledge and better jobs

Description

"At the global level it is already known our dependence on a healthy environment and the fact that environmental problems go over national and regional borders. To achieve this aim we need adequate training and access to higher and actual skills through better education and training systems. Mutual learning in field of environmental engineering between important and experimented actors in European higher education system using the exchange of good practice and implementing innovative tools and instruments is the rationale of the EnvYJobs project. EnvYJobs project contributed to the fulfillment of long-term EU objective concerning the environment as to achieve levels of water, air and soil quality ""that do not result in unacceptable impacts on, and risks to human health and the environment"". This was possible by establishing as a general objective the development of an educational open resource e-learning platform allowing easy understanding of complex environmental engineering issues. The project had in view the following objective: 1. The development and implementation of 6 courses and related laboratory works with remote access which addressed to the following environmental concerns: Design, Modeling and Simulation Techniques for Wastewater Treatment Processes; Soil and Air Quality Monitoring Techniques; Sustainable Drinking Water Supply Systems; Closing the NEW-resource cycle through a zero-emission water management system; Geoinformation technologies for Environmental Changes and Pressures Assessment; Flood Hazard Assessment. The entire study module is called EnvYJobs and for each course appropriate teaching materials is provided: syllabuses, electronic courses (e-books, lessons' presentations, video lessons), CD books published with ISBN, virtual laboratories (e-labs and video labs) and webinars. 2. Developing of an e-learning platform with a dedicated curricula in field of environmental engineering (EnvYJobs e-learning module). Educational staff, students and other stakeholders have real-time remote access to innovative Open Educational Resources at http://curs.envyjobs.pub.ro/. 3. Providing solutions for teachers, educational staff and students with the aim of their immersion in the remote experimentation environment through innovative ICT technologies and mutual learning.Users' guide for e-learning platform is available to access online for acquiring or improving the use of ICT and for learning digital competence. 4. Implementing EnvYJobs e-learning module at partners universities through testing it with virtual lectures, virtual laboratories (e-learning, e-labs tutorials, webinars, video-labs, electronic evaluation) and live laboratories.4. Wishing to respond as quickly and better possible both the employment needs of students trained in environmental engineering field and employability correlated with the labor market needs, it is developed a database, using Linkedin profile EnvYJobs, which includes information from both directions: about the environmental specialists trained in the framework of the project and related to potential employers in the environmental field to facilitate their interaction. The target group of the project was composed of 165 students enrolled in the University POLITEHNICA of Bucharest (CO-UPB), Romania, Saxion University of Applied Sciences (P1-Saxion), The Netherlands and University of Trento (P3-UNITN), Italy, students with education level B.Sc. degree, M.Sc. degree and PhD students. Of the total 165 students, 102 came from CO-UPB, 24 from P1-Saxion and 39 from P3-UNITN. The project target group also includes 13 trainers which were involved in training sessions of students. The 13 teachers/trainers will come from partner institutions as follows: 6 from CO-UPB, 3 from P1-Saxion, 2 from P2 - TEICM (Technological Educational Institute of Central Macedonia, Greece) and 2 from P3-UNITN. The project implementation ensured: satisfaction of students requirements, well-trained students for labor market in field of environmental engineering, and a real example for good practices that could be multiplied at a larger scale also in other study fields and education levels. The project allowed to partners to build a collaboration, change ideas, share experiences and good practices in order to maximize the benefits of their expertise on the educational processes as quality of education needs to be considered permanently."
