In the fall of 2019, at the Széchenyi István University Audi Hungaria Faculty of Vehicle Engineering, we redesigned the Vehicle Engineering bachelor’s program. One of the main reasons for the redesign was our observation that students who participated in student competition programs, such as Formula Student or the Shell Eco-marathon, developed their engineering thinking and problem-solving skills more quickly than those who did not participate in such programs. These observations led the program committee to design a project-based Vehicle Engineering curriculum and launch it as a pilot program in English. The emphasis was on project/problem-based learning. This article presents the experiences of the pilot program, which has been running for five years.
Kivonat
2019 őszén a Széchenyi István Egyetem Audi Hungaria Járműmérnöki Karán, átdolgoztuk a Járműmérnöki alapképzési programot. Az átdolgozás egyik fő oka az volt, hogy megfigyeltük, hogy azok a hallgatók, akik részt vettek olyan hallgatói versenyprogramokban, mint a Formula Student vagy a Shell Eco-maraton, gyorsabban fejlesztették mérnöki gondolkodásukat és problémamegoldó készségeiket, mint azok, akik nem vettek részt ilyen programokban. Ezek a megfigyelések vezették a szakbizottságot arra, hogy egy projektalapú Járműmérnöki tantervet dolgozzon ki, és elindítson egy angol nyelvű pilot programot. A hangsúly a projekt/probléma alapú tanuláson volt. A jelen cikk az öt éve folyó pilot program tapasztalatait mutatja be.
