Internal University Mobility Program "Self-Learning University" as one of Successful Mechanisms of introducing CDIO Standards in Astrakhan State University

M. Egorov, O. Egorova (2013).  Internal University Mobility Program "Self-Learning University" as one of Successful Mechanisms of introducing CDIO Standards in Astrakhan State University. 9.

In this paper the structure, methods, action mechanisms and requirements of the internal university mobility program "Self-Learning University" have been studied in compliance with the implementation of CDIO standards in Astrakhan State University.

The program has been introduced in order to help faculty member and students better integrate themselves into the context of Conceiving — Designing — Implementing — Operating real-world systems and products. Enhancement of Faculty CDIO Skills (Standards 9) and Enhancement of Faculty Teaching Skills (Standards 10) is being put in practice in the form of the specific faculty and student developing program within the frameworks of which they can study the subjects they need either in order to implement a CDIO project (students) or to acquire new teaching skills (faculty). All this promotes international character of education in Astrakhan State University and helps students and faculty participate in exchange programs and joint PhD programs with foreign partner universities as well as participate in internships, traineeships and placements in business and industrial settings.

Statistics and practical results show that it also helps raise the faculty responsibility level and quality of classes in groups with guest students. Full-time students in the groups where guest students studied have become more motivated.

The aspiration of the faculty and students to join the "Self-Learning University" program is a reason to keep on developing the program, which helps to easier introduce CDIO standards in Astrakhan State University.
