Pół stulecia Politechniki Opolskiej - na drodze do wiedzy, edukacji i rozwoju, także dla inżyniera z duszą humanisty
(Wydawnictwo Politechniki Łódzkiej, 2017) Kalczyńska, Maria
In 2016, The Opole University of Technology celebrated its 50th anniversary. As an educational and research institution, it has realized tasks imposed by the Higher Education Law, that is: determining students' technological profile with
humanistic predispositions. It gives students the possibility to think independently, critically and creatively. Nowadays, a narrow specialization knowledge is not sufficient, and a broad understanding for the changes taking place in the world is key. The Opole University of Technology has seven faculties. The university is continuously growing and it can boast of the innovation process in education as well as the involvement of workers in the education process. The university cooperates with institutions from Asian countries which have the only Museum of X-ray tubes in the world.The Faculty of Construction and Architecture educates through art, the Faculty of Electronics, Automatics and Computer Science analyses the improvement of human intelligence which is important in searching for humanistic competences. The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, according to the humanistic course catalogue, focuses on social communication and personal development issues. Students have a lot of possibilities for academic activities: 36 academic students’ associations, a choir, orchestra and university radio. The teachers include: Dr. Wacław Hepner – initiator of Flying Car and Vehicle Museum; Prof. Jerzy Hickiewicz – electrician, and is passionate about the history of electrical and the Polish Borderlands; Prof. Lech Nawrocki – zoo-technician, compositor and writer. Technical universities should improve the humanistic knowledge of their students, and should create faculties, institutes or departments of Humanities for consolidating research related to this discipline.
Humanizm i transhumanizm w kształceniu technicznym i w technice
(Wydawnictwo Politechniki Łódzkiej, 2017) Rarot, Halina
This article concerns the problem of a new engineering model adequate to the challenges of the 21st century. It contains the results of searching for differ-ent models of humanization of technical education that could solve the important issue of ethical and axiological engineering education. The idea of transhuman-ism, which tries to determine the direction of the development of technology and of man himself, towards his new forms of transhuman and posthuman, is also presented.
O potrzebie etycznych podstaw dla edukacji globalnej
(Wydawnictwo Politechniki Łódzkiej, 2017) Ciążela, Helena; Bernat, Paweł
The concept of global education is based on the recognition of the world as a network of interdependencies and on realizing the fact that the current direction of the development of civilization leads to environmental and humani-tarian disaster. On the other hand, there is a belief that there is still a chance to change this state of affairs by means of education. The purpose of education is recognized as not only a transfer of knowledge but also as a transfer of morals that is able to generate a shift in attitudes. In order to strengthen the impact of the global education project it is necessary to provide a coherent description and axiological analysis of the values behind it. In the paper, we argue that ethicists should work on building philosophical arguments for the development and implementation of global education programs. We argue further that such a philosophical framework should be based on the ideas of new humanism (proposed by Aurelio Peccei) and global responsibility (formulated by Hans Jonas).
Sztuczna inteligencja a edukacja humanistyczna specjalistów w dziedzinie nauk komputerowych
(Wydawnictwo Politechniki Łódzkiej, 2017) Górniak-Kocikowska, Krystyna
The motivation and the starting point for this essay was the 1999 essay “Technik z duszą humanisty” by Maria Stolarska. In it, she argues how students in technical disciplines benefit from a liberal arts education.
In my view, Stolarska’s arguments are still highly relevant today, despite some profound, paradigm-shifting changes caused by revolutionary break-throughs in science and technology which have taken place in recent decades.
Kompetencje inżyniera - dokąd zmierzamy?
(Wydawnictwo Politechniki Łódzkiej, 2017) Kraśniewski, Andrzej
Today’s innovative economy requires engineers who, aside from having specialized knowledge and skills, know and understand non-technical aspects of engineering practice and possess adequate transferable skills. This is reflected in the requirements presented in the form of learning outcomes by several national and international engineering accreditation bodies, such as the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, established in the United States, but operating also in many other countries around the world. These global trends are also reflected in our National Qualifications Framework for Higher Education. One of the key abilities of a contemporary and future engineer is to communicate effectively with a range of audiences. In this paper, experiences with teaching a special project-intensive course aimed at the development of this ability offered at the Faculty of Electronics and Information Technology, Warsaw University of Technology, are presented.
