Introduction to engineering education

Kazykenov Aslan Zhadygerovich

Description: The course "Introduction to Engineering Education" provides fundamental engineering and entrepreneurial skills within the CDIO (Conceive – Design – Implement – Operate) framework. Students engage in the C and D phases through applied tasks, project work, and engineering practice. The program includes two modules – "Business creation" and "Fundamentals of Engineering". It focuses on developing project thinking, teamwork skills, and understanding the role of engineers in addressing real-world societal challenges.

Goal

–formation of the initial skills of engineering practice and entrepreneurial competencies of students

Objective

Tasks of the "Business creation" module: 1) search for ideas for the specified case parameters; 2) using innovative solutions, overcoming the inertia of thinking; 3) development of students' creative abilities by solving inventive tasks. 4) solving contradictions in the search for ideas; 5) comparison and evaluation of alternative solutions; 6) development of design thinking; 7) development of the project's business model; 8) development of entrepreneurial skills among students.
Objectives of the Fundamentals of Engineering module: 1) a general description of the tasks and responsibilities of an engineer, familiarization with the basics of engineering practice; 2) familiarization with the methods of generating a technical idea for a product, process, system or service that can solve a specific problem; 3) familiarization with the basics of technical documentation; 4) learning the basics of modeling products, processes, systems or services; 5) formation of the basics of engineering communication and teamwork; 6) formation of initial project work skills.

Teaching methods

Assessment of the student's knowledge

Teacher oversees various tasks related to ongoing assessment and determines students' current performance twice during each academic period. Ratings 1 and 2 are formulated based on the outcomes of this ongoing assessment. The student's learning achievements are assessed using a 100-point scale, and the final grades P1 and P2 are calculated as the average of their ongoing performance evaluations. The teacher evaluates the student's work throughout the academic period in alignment with the assignment submission schedule for the discipline. The assessment system may incorporate a mix of written and oral, group and individual formats.

Period	Type of task	Total
Total control	Graded Credit	0-100

The evaluating policy of learning outcomes by work type

Type of task	90-100	70-89	50-69	0-49
Type of task	Excellent	Good	Satisfactory	Unsatisfactory

Evaluation form

The student's final grade in the course is calculated on a 100 point grading scale, it includes:

40% of the examination result;
60% of current control result.

The final grade is calculated by the formula:

FG = 0,6	MT₁+MT₂	+0,4E
	2

Where Midterm 1, Midterm 2are digital equivalents of the grades of Midterm 1 and 2;

E is a digital equivalent of the exam grade.

Final alphabetical grade and its equivalent in points:

The letter grading system for students' academic achievements, corresponding to the numerical equivalent on a four-point scale:

Alphabetical grade	Numerical value	Points (%)	Traditional grade
A	4.0	95-100	Excellent
A-	3.67	90-94	Excellent
B+	3.33	85-89	Good
B	3.0	80-84
B-	2.67	75-79
C+	2.33	70-74
C	2.0	65-69	Satisfactory
C-	1.67	60-64
D+	1.33	55-59
D	1.0	50-54
FX	0.5	25-49	Unsatisfactory
F	0	0-24	Unsatisfactory
