Engineering Era

The Engineering Era Project was implemented at Poznan University of Technology between 2008 and 2012. It was financed from the European Social Fund of the European Union. The main objective of the project was to adjust higher education to the needs of the modern economy, especially to the needs of the labour market, and to improve the quality of education at Poznan University of Technology.

One of the tasks implemented under the "Engineering Era” project was the development of curricula and didactic materials, and the implementation of training programs using e-learning methods and techniques.
