Overall budget: 84 990.00 EUR

YKSUG budget:  10 600.00 EUR

Duration: 36 months

Status of the project: realized

Specefic objectives of the Project:

• To develop a modern master program in Applied Computing for Engineering and Science, which will respect the principles of the Bologna process, and to implement it at 3 Belarusian and 2 Russian universities;
• To develop and update courses and teaching materials for the master program;
• To improve teachers’ qualifications and skills;
• To implement modern teaching methods in the developed study courses;
• To install modern equipment and software for teaching, practical training and development, and to equip libraries with expert literature;
• To disseminate the know-how and developed materials to other universities.

The project outcomes:

• A modern master's program “Applied Computer Data Analysis” was developed and opened.

The master's program is included in the classifier of the Republic of Belarus (1-31 81 12 “Applied computer data analysis”).

• Curricula of the master's program for full-time education (1 and 2 years), part-time education (1,5 and 2 years), full-time education (2 years) in English language of instruction have been developed and approved.
• Updated training courses and training materials for the master's program. Implemented modern teaching methods in the developed courses. English-language versions of educational materials have been developed, which are translated into Russian for subsequent publication; prepared electronic educational and methodological complexes for mathematical modeling, scientific calculations, numerical analysis and optimization, statistical modeling, statistical calculations; internal and external review of the training materials was carried out (reviews were received from Gomel State University and the Siberian Federal University (Krasnoyarsk, Russia); - training materials were posted electronically on the project website http://www.ai.tuwien.ac.at / ace
• As a part of the accreditation procedure in 2016, the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Belarus conducted a continuous survey of graduate students, the results of the evaluation of the master's program by the graduate students themselves are positive and are presented in the report of the accreditation commission).
• Modern equipment and software were purchased and installed (84 ”multi-board - 1 pc., 2 computer classes - 16 computers each, laptops - 3 pcs., computers for statistical analysis and mathematical modeling - 3 pcs., Wolfram Mathematica symbolic mathematics package) for teaching, practical training and development for a total of 48,270.97 euro
• The university library is equipped with scientific and educational literature (educational and scientific literature in the amount of 122 items (167 copies) in the amount of 2923.27 euros was purchased).
• A series of intra-university seminars was held on the use of modern teaching and learning methods (the workshops were attended by Professor V.M. Volkov (Russia), Professor Pedro Lima (Portugal), Professor Tomas Furst, Professor Karel Hron (Czech Republic), Professor Peter Filzmoosers (Austria).
• A package of information documents on the master's program has been developed, available on sites in sections for “applicants” and in print, the information package is distributed among applicants and employers. 4 issues of the project newsletter were published - http://www.ai.tuwien.ac.at/aces/index.php/2014-10-14-09-18-03-03publications-ru.html.
