WP 1 PREPARATION

 Analysis of existing curricula and study

programmes in the field of smart grids and electricity markets in EU and Western Balkans HEIs

 Estimated Start Date: 01-11-2017  Estimated End Date: 01-05-2018

The aims of WP1

• Map the existing situation in engineering education

with respect to smart grids, ICT and electricity markets in the partner countries

• Analysis of existing curricula in smart grids at EU

universities ( will be prepared by the EU partners).

The aims of WP1 (cont.)

• Review of stakeholders’ expectations or needs.

(UNS will coordinate this task with the help of staff members from EU partners)

TASKS

• ACT 1.1 Analysis of related courses/programmes and

practices at EU universities

• ACT 1.2 Review and SWOT analysis of existing WBC

energy and ICT studies and market needs

• ACT 1.3 Creation of the competence matrix based on

the inputs from the labour market and industry

• ACT 1.4. Creation of learning outcomes for both the

updated BSc programmes and new MSc programme

Time frames

• SWOT analysis base document sent to the WBC

partner participants (December 20, 2017)

• MATRIX ON COMPETENCE draft document sent to

the WBC partner participants (December 20, 2017)

• Analysis of existing energy and ICT studies in

WBC HEIs (December 20, 2017)

• Deadline for WBC participants contributions is

20th February 2018.

• The Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and

Threats (SWOT) Analysis reveals that deliberate changes must be made to facilitate institutional growth and development and meet the expectations of employer and student customers.

• SWOT Analysis provides a nice baseline of the

feedback received by employees and external stakeholders that concisely targets issues to address in the Strategic Plan and operationalizing of that Plan.

SWOT Analysis (cont.)

 The SWOT analysis was used to develop the attached

strategic questions. These questions and others raised by participants at the workshop will help define strategic directions important to the university in next three years.

SWOT - Strengths

 What are your competitive advantages?  What are your core competencies?  Where are you making the most impact?  What are you doing well?  Employee commitment/engagement?  Physical infrastructure?  Employer support foundation?  Sustainability initiatives/practices?

SWOT- Weaknesses

 What areas are we avoiding?  Where do we lack resources?  What are we doing poorly?  Where are we losing reputation?  What needs improvement?  Rigorous academic programs?  Data availability, integration and alignment?

SWOT- Weaknesses

 Communication and marketing?  Lack of academic counseling?  Business processes confusion?  Education pathways barriers and transparency?  Lack of strong, pervasive presence in the

external community ?

 Limited resources for faculty and staff

development?

 Highly competitive market for diverse faculty

and staff?

SWOT- Opportunities

 Any beneficial trends?  Niches that competitors are missing?  New technologies?  New needs of students/faculty/staff?  Employer engagement/work based learning?  Articulation options/ partnering with industry

and research institutes?

 External image improvement?

SWOT- Opportunities

 Diversity of entering students?  Data-informed student success?  Partnerships in support of university

initiatives?

 Expanded possibilities for the workforce ?  Diversity of region (students – industry) ?  External Community and University

relationships- Interest in academic program expansion?

SWOT- Threats

 Obstacles to overcome?  Competitors doing it better?  Negative economic conditions?  Vulnerabilities?  State funding?  Enrollment levels?

SWOT- Threats

 Perception and visibility of study programme?  Increased higher education options in other

areas?

 Reporting requirements absorb a large

percentage of resources?

 Shift in focus on numerical achievement vs.

qualitative achievement?

 Negative public perception?

MATRIX ON COMPETENCE

In building the Matrix on competence it is necessary to include some basic facts:

Who needs to be trained? Levels of training needs Competences of teacher and trainers Maintenance of Cycle of competent

education

MATRIX ON COMPETENCE

Cycle of competent education consists of:

• Identifying of Learning Needs;
• Setting Objectives;
• Choosing teaching and training techniques;
• Delivery of education and Evaluation.

The basic elements for building competence education

1) Carrying out a basic training needs analysis 2) Understanding the psychology of learning, the process of learning, learning styles, preferences, etc. 3) Structuring a learning event – lesson/session plans 4) Objective and outcome defining and writing

The basic elements for building competence education

5) Delivery skills:

• Presentation skills
• Facilitation skills
• Demonstrations
• Facilitating learning exercises and activities
• Giving feedback
• Managing questions
• Managing behaviour in the training room
• Using learning aids – flipcharts, models, videos etc.
• Training room evaluation techniques

Electrical Energy Markets and Engineering Education

 Reducing the Bargaining Power of Suppliers  Reducing the Threat of New Entrants  Reducing the Competitive Rivalry between Existing

Suppliers

 Reducing the Bargaining Power of Customers  Reducing the Threat of Substitutes
