Educational Development
Engineering Academy
Objective/outcome: the programme aims to expand engineering education to various target groups, thereby raising awareness of aviation engineering studies. The goal is to increase the number of applicants to the Estonian Aviation Academy's Aeronautical Engineering curriculum, ultimately allowing for an increase in study places.
Additionally, the programme seeks to broaden opportunities for general education, vocational, and hobby schools by offering flexible engineering elective courses. This will help integrate engineering education more effectively into both the compulsory curriculum and extracurricular education.
The programme also focuses on harmonizing the skill levels of students entering engineering studies, ensuring a smoother learning experience and reducing dropout rates. Through mentorship programmes, specialized counseling, preparatory courses (including practical skills), and participation in industry-related competitions, students can transition more seamlessly between education levels, gain positive learning experiences, and enhance their motivation to study engineering.
Goals:
Increase the number of applicants – promote engineering education in society and increase the number of candidates applying to higher education by raising awareness among students and teachers in general education, vocational, and hobby schools, with a special emphasis on activities targeted at girls.
Align education with labor market and societal needs – strengthen collaboration with the defense sector, where the importance of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has grown. Additionally, enhance cooperation with general education, vocational, and hobby schools to make engineering education more accessible in suitable learning formats.
Reduce dropout rates – decrease the dropout rate in the Aeronautical Engineering curriculum by increasing student motivation and developing support systems.
Project period: 01.01.2024-31.12.2029
