KA2 Project SybPhys, full name “Development of practically-oriented student-centred education in the field of modelling of Cyber-Physical Systems” is funded by the European Union and aimed at introducing a novel curricular in practical-oriented modelling and simulation CPS for innovative physical, mathematical and engineering topics for High-Tech industries based on analysis of labour market needs, in close cooperation with the professional associations, High-Tech companies and research institutions of Belarus and Ukraine.

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are electronic systems, components and software that are interacting with physical systems and their environment providing capabilities to sense, monitor, analyse and control devices, components and processes in various fields of application. The CPS are able to deliver cross-domain solutions with reduced time-to-market, yielding significant economic results and growth in sectors critical to Europe’s economy and competitiveness and drive innovation to cope with the ‘new digital transformation’ of Europe.

Aims and objectives

• Studies and workshops with industry representatives to define specific needs of the labor market
• Developing flexible and modular courses, training programs, based on the needs of specific businesses according to the labour market needs
• On-site training and visits to research centres and university’ laboratories of EU HEIs
• The students will acquire enhanced skills and competences through the introduction of updated courses with innovative content and using methodologies based on ICT tools

Results

• Developed, tested and formally approved curricula for BCs and MCs in accordance to labour market needs based on Bologna practices
• Developed didactic materials (e-Books, guides for laboratory works, lecture synopsis, etc.)
• Modern infrastructure with innovative ICT based teaching and learning environment for improvement qualifications and skills in the area of modelling and simulation of CPS (e-library and Shared Modelling and Simulation Platform)
• Learning and teaching methodologies and pedagogical approaches for use of ICT: flexible learning, blended courses, virtual and real mobility, acquisition of innovative tools
• Highly qualified teaching staff, familiar with modern needs, educational technologies and targeting needs
• University - enterprise network that works beyond the project
