Pozycja Nauka w czasach biurokracji(Wydawnictwo Politechniki Łódzkiej, 2017) Morawski, RomanThis chapter is on the detrimental impact of bureaucracy on science in Poland. After general considerations, concerning the nature of this phenomenon and its development in Western civilization, several bureaucracy-induced problems, the specifics of scientific functioning, are identified, viz.: the quan-tophrenia in the evaluation of scientific achievements, the overgrowth of the system of individual research grants, and a corruptiogenic system of remuneration in academic institutions. The negative impact of those factors on the productivity of research in sciences and humanities is demonstrated, as well as on the condition of related academic milieus. In particular, the mechanisms of the destructive impact of those factors on the academic ethos are disclosed. Although no remedies are explicitly proposed, preferred solutions may be inferred from the presented analysis of the Polish implementation of the academic capitalism imported from the United States without regard to the historical, cultural and social context.Pozycja Pół stulecia Politechniki Opolskiej - na drodze do wiedzy, edukacji i rozwoju, także dla inżyniera z duszą humanisty(Wydawnictwo Politechniki Łódzkiej, 2017) Kalczyńska, MariaIn 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.Pozycja Humanizm i transhumanizm w kształceniu technicznym i w technice(Wydawnictwo Politechniki Łódzkiej, 2017) Rarot, HalinaThis 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.Pozycja O potrzebie etycznych podstaw dla edukacji globalnej(Wydawnictwo Politechniki Łódzkiej, 2017) Ciążela, Helena; Bernat, PawełThe 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).Pozycja Sztuczna inteligencja a edukacja humanistyczna specjalistów w dziedzinie nauk komputerowych(Wydawnictwo Politechniki Łódzkiej, 2017) Górniak-Kocikowska, KrystynaThe 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.Pozycja Kompetencje inżyniera - dokąd zmierzamy?(Wydawnictwo Politechniki Łódzkiej, 2017) Kraśniewski, AndrzejToday’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.Pozycja Humanistyka w świecie edukacji technicznej(Wydawnictwo Politechniki Łódzkiej, 2017) Sommer, HannaThis article draws attention to the role of the humanities in the context of the development of the world of technologies and engineering efficiency. Both of these areas play a very important role in the functioning of societies. The modern labour market is looking for well educated professionals who can work in even the most distant fields of knowledge. At present, it is not enough to have a narrow profile education. Humanities and social sciences should play an important role in technical education as it is people who are the creators of technological progress. People of the 21st century should be sensitive and able to use his knowledge wisely. A well-educated "humanist engineer" in his work should be the guarantor of the primacy of humans over the technique (technology?).Pozycja Nasz absolwent: światły człowiek, dobry specjalista(Wydawnictwo Politechniki Łódzkiej, 2017) Chmielecka, EwaThe article consists of two interwoven threads about the tasks facing technical universities in the context of their didactic activities: humanistic reflection about required personal qualities of the alumni and analysis of the formal requirements connected with the proposed and existing education programmes. Both of these threads begin reflection by two elements of educa-tion: knowledge and skills, and later they concentrate on the attitudes (social competences) of the alumni. University teachers and universities have ethos obligations to form not only knowledge and skills, but also the attitudes of their students. The analysis of European and Polish Qualifications Framework descriptors allows description of the expected alumni qualifications also in the sphere of “social competences”. It is appropriate then, to ask the question whether or how Polish universities understand and form attitudes / social competences. Our alumni should not only be skilled professionals, but also at the same time en-lightened people, who know how to use knowledge and skills for social and personal benefits. They should have a habit of value judgement reflection concerning their personal activities and also their active citizenship and personal development. The next part of the article contains the overview of the methods which allow us to improve such attitudes.Pozycja Projektowanie humanistyczne odczytane na nowo(Wydawnictwo Politechniki Łódzkiej, 2017) Gasparski, Wojciech W.This article is an attempt to re-interpret an earlier article on the humanistic meaning of design as conceptual preparation for action. An additional incentive is the assumption that humanistic design can now, if it is not a counter-proposal, at least to correct consumerism dominating in contemporary business. The humanistic perspective indicates human beings as subjects of the design, due to practical situations and their context. For this reason, it is necessary to strive to shape the social role of the design and social organization of design activity in such a way that the humanistic axiology is taken into account in the design solutions. Therefore, designers should not only be technical experts, but also trustworthy guardians.Pozycja Profesjonalizm w pracy zawodowej(Wydawnictwo Politechniki Łódzkiej, 2017) Hope, EwaThis article is an analysis of the notion of “professionalism” with a special consideration of technical professions. The author raised the problem of the inseparable connection between practices that respect ethical rules and acts at the workplace as a basis for choices which one can call “professional.”. The author proposes a triad of responsibility, knowledge and experience, which is not only a condition and a guarantee of professionalism, but also a proposition for overcoming common atrophy of moral values and adiaphorization of actions, which are consequences of using market regulation mechanisms to all the spheres of social life. The author underlines the importance of the category of responsibility especially in technical professions, where the representatives who transform material reality have a great influence on the shape of the future of mankind.
