Academy and Training

Still on track or at full throttle at the front?

   

   

The progressive development of digitalisation encompasses more and more areas of life and development and enables better comfort, faster performance and a high degree of networking despite spatial distance. The success rate of new, innovative technologies depends to a large extent on their understanding, as well as on their general acceptance. By means of training and interactive educational tools, developers of new innovations as well as students can be individually trained and promoted. But users and citizens can also learn about how new technologies work and do not have to be "left behind". IEEM is pursuing this educational approach within various research topics, from interactivity based on demonstrators to classic training courses, in order to promote the development and identification of new technologies "at full throttle".

Knowledge transfer through innovative training concepts and interactive educational tools

The rapid expansion of digitalisation in diverse fields of application such as the automotive, industrial, medical and e-commercial sectors is leading to a complexity of systems into a system of systems. This high degree of networking of the systems harbours security risks and requires a holistic understanding of the interaction and function of the subcomponents, some of which are app-controlled and have their own intelligence.
Here, one's own personal training measures are often no longer sufficient to holistically understand the overall systems. 
At this point, training offers are more in demand than ever in order to keep up with the fast pace of development in the industry at the forefront or even to be able to operate new technologies such as autonomous robots as parcel services from a user perspective. The training concepts are designed to suit the target groups. Citizens, for example, can be comprehensively informed about the operation of new innovations via events and evening events, students by means of certificate courses and entrepreneurs as well as scientists within training courses in terms of certificate courses and further education measures.

Classical training and lecture concepts, such as frontal teaching, still have their appeal and also their justification within the respective area of application and the appropriate time of application. However, the approach of interactive learning is gaining more and more importance. Here, more and more e-learning techniques are finding their way into practice, which, combined with classroom training, fall under the collective term blended learning. E-learning can be implemented by means of a platform that prepares knowledge didactically in a clear and media-supported manner. Interaction goes one step further at this point: learners actively reflect on and test their knowledge using (virtual) demonstrators and individually expand their experience values - using the "trial and error" principle. Virtual gaming rooms are also suitable here, as they arouse interest and impart knowledge in a playful, realistic way or test existing knowledge and can be made tangible by means of virtual reality.

Vorhaben und Ziele

The IEEM would like to further expand the area of interactive training as well as face-to-face training and integrate expertise from industry, business and academia to a greater extent. In addition to subject-specific knowledge, IEEM has expertise in the following areas:

  • Implementation of a knowledge database, a web presence to organise and accompany trainings as well as make interactive training rooms available and record results as well as publications
  • Organising events, workshops and conferences from an educational perspective, and designing and placing promotional materials for them
  • Editorial preparation of content and documentation for learners, teachers and placement of these
  • Coordination and management of trainings, holistically of the academy
  • Communicative interface activities between teachers from business and academia

Goals:

  • Generate enduring knowledge among users
  • Conceptualise and offer certified courses as well as certified study programmes
