DEVELOPMENT AND INNOVATION OF TECHNICAL EDUCATION IN CZECH REPUBLIC AND ITS IMPLEMENTATION AT THE UNIVERSITY OF WEST BOHEMIA

Original language description

The first part of this article gives a description of the development of technical education in the Czech Republic and an explanation of all the important aspects that affected or still affect the education of mechanical engineers in our country. Education is described before and after the collapse of the Communist regime in 1989, then there is a description of the current state and also the expected direction which the education of technicians should take. Following the development of education in the Czech Republic there are introduced innovative projects which are worked on by teams of students with help from academics at FME and experts from industrial companies. These projects deal with Project-Based Learning (PBL), which is intended to connect students more deeply in solving interesting problems that they might face in any industrial company. Problem solving of each project includes detailed research, tests, experiments and also theoretical preparation for specific problems. Via these projects students become involved in interesting practical topics during their studies, meaning they can easily broaden their theoretical knowledge and, what is more important, they also gain crucial practical skills. Insufficient practical skills are often a weakness of graduates from technical fields and via the innovative educational system at our Faculty, students should improve their skills, thereby having a better position in the labour market.
