Virtual Innovative Learning Laboratories for Global Engineering Education (VILLAGE)

Project description

A new model for engineering laboratories education

A global engineering education is just a mouse click away. Online learning, which flourished during the recent pandemic, is now considered a viable post-pandemic teaching process that can meet the needs of engineering instructors and students. Compared to in-person laboratories, virtual environments can provide a multidimensional, multicultural and multidisciplinary context. They can be used to determine roadmaps for new instructional design models in line with the opinions of the stakeholders. They can also create effective and sustainable instructional models, while developing a pilot virtual lab and its learning materials to test the proposed model. With this in mind, the MSCA-funded VILLAGE will design a model for engineering laboratories education that is based on a multidimensional, multicultural and multidisciplinary analysis.

Objective

The aim of VILLAGE is to re-examine the post-pandemic teaching processes and needs of engineering instructors and students for laboratory practice in a multidimensional, multicultural and multidisciplinary context, and to determine roadmaps for new instructional design models in line with the opinions of the stakeholders, to create effective and sustainable instructional models, while developing a pilot virtual lab and its learning materials to test the proposed model.
VILLAGE is a joint research and innovation (R&I) project in the context of generating a sustainable learning model for laboratory engineering education considering the new normal and the needs of the instructors with the exchange of staff within partnerships of universities, research infrastructures and SMEs in Europe and beyond, which aims to strengthen inter-sectoral and international collaboration.
In general, the existence of some virtual laboratories for engineering education is known, and some variables are effectively used. Beyond the state of the art, this project aims not only to design another virtual lab, but to design a sustainable model for engineering laboratories education based on a multidimensional, multicultural and multidisciplinary analysis.
