Welcome to this training course engineering module

Description

With this online training course you will learn about the main concerns in training course engineering.

You will discover the interest of this approach for designing a new course and for updating an existing course. There is a sequence of steps to follow which guarantees that the course design is ideally adapted to needs and the students who follow it will become operational professionals.

This training session has been created as part of the TradPro project in partnership with 24 partners including 12 universities in Europe, Russia and Kazakhstan, in the aim of providing a framework for training course engineering for a range of traditional food processing courses.

The financial backing for the project has been provided by the European Union's « TEMPUS » programme. The European Tempus project contributes to the modernisation of higher education in Eastern European, Central Asian, Balkan and Mediterranean partner countries.

The Tempus programme promotes cooperation between partner establishments by focusing on the reforms and updating of higher education systems in the partner countries.

The responsibility for the overall coordination of the project lies with the Montpellier SupAgro Department : DEFIS (Development, Expertise, Training and Agricultural Engineering for southern countries) based at the Institute for Higher Education in Tropical and Sub-Tropical Agri-Food Sciences (IRC).

Objectives

Course Objectives :

• Broadly define what training engineering is,

• Mention the indicators (quantitative and qualitative) to consider for the positioning of the course in the current socio-economic context. Explain the reasons for using surveys and opinion polls in a specific sector,

• Explain how / why the institutional and economic aspects are an integral part of the process (organizational, social, regulatory ...) ... consultations, validation, certification,

• Explain why the analysis of the relationship between university and the professional world (the target area) is important and vital to this early stage (upstream of the training project),

• Mention the various possible modalities to be used to analyze occupations, jobs, work situations, and their respective advantages and limitations,

• Explain the place and value of a training reference system in the engineering of a training course.
