ONGOING PROJECTS

KEGA 001TUKE-4/2020

Modernization of the teaching of industrial engineering in order to develop the skills of the existing educational program in a specialized laboratory.

(2020-2022)

Project leader: prof. Ing. Peter Trebuňa, Ph.D.

Annotation:

The ongoing process of transformation towards automated machines and services leads to the coordination and interconnection of distributed complex systems. For this purpose, more software-embedded systems are involved in industrial products and systems. Therefore, predictive methods based on intelligent algorithms to support electronic infrastructure should be used. The synergy resulting from the integration of advances in information technology, services and manufacturing is synonymous with the Industry 4.0 concept. Value chains require standardization of production and business processes and closer relationships between stakeholders. Research, development and an active approach to innovation are the basis for the implementation of the Industry 4.0 infrastructure of companies. It is necessary to reflect on these challenges, especially in the field of education, in order to prepare competent specialists. A strong trend in terms of increasing the quality, modernization and attractiveness of teaching is the introduction of elements of digitization into the educational process and the building of high-quality interactive educational and training centers.

KEGA 002TUKE-4/2020

Implementation of intelligent technology and advanced technologies to support transformation processes and design of future productions.

(2020-2022)

Project leader: doc. Ing. Vladimir Rudy, PhD.

Annotation:

The aim of the project solution is to acquire knowledge in the field of modern technical and software tools and innovative techniques of designing and creating virtual scenes of production workplaces and systems. Transformation of this knowledge into the so-called "Active experiential forms of education" in subjects focused on methodologies for designing mechanical engineering production and building the production of the future into the educational process in study programs in the fields of "Industrial Engineering" and "Automotive Production". The effort is to support students' innovative thinking and the development of their practical skills supporting their more flexible graduate adaptation in the manufacturing sphere. The project is to help expand the technical and software equipment of laboratories at the "Institute of Management, Industrial and Digital Engineering", Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Technical University in Košice and to integrate these new types of technical, computer and software tools into existing theoretical and practical teaching.

Transfer of digitization into education in the study program Business Management and Economics

(2020-2022)

Project leader: prof. Ing. Jaroslava Kadarova, PhD. Annotation: The digitization of society and the introduction of elements of Industry 4.0 into the practice of industrial enterprises inevitably change the nature of higher education. Automation, electronization and artificial intelligence determine business processes that undergo dynamic transformation and become complex, using information and communication technologies, modeling and simulation. These changes also affect the operational management of companies, corporate information systems, economic and financial management, human resources management and strategic management. The aim of the project is to reflect on the changes caused by digitization and modernize education in the study program Business Management and Economics by using simulation games to support management and decision-making, automation of data processing, visualization of key performance indicators of business processes in the form of reports, dashboards and scorecards. The transfer of digitalisation to education and the use of the experiential form of teaching will support the innovative and creative potential of students stimulated by the completed study and critical thinking necessary for economic practice.
