Teachers of Higher Mathematics and Physics Department, Doctor of Pedagogical Sciences, Professor, Head of the Department Natalia Sosnytska, Ph.D., Associate Professor Mykola Morozov, Assistant Professor Larysa Khalanchuk as well as Candidate of Pedagogical Sciences, Associate Professor, Vice-Rector for International Affairs Olena Titova represented our university at 2020 IEEE 25th International Conference on Problems of automated electric drive. Theory and practice (PAEP). The conference took place at Mykhailo Ostrogradsky Kremenchug National University on September 21st-25th, 2020.
Natalia Sosnytska and Olena Titova participated in the Electrical Engineering Education and Education Technologies section. Natalia Sosnytska presented the report Formation of social skills as a step towards competitiveness in the labor market of specialists of energy profile. Olena Titova made a presentation on joint research with Natalia Sosnytska The Engineer’s Creative Potential Scales.
The authors provided some findings connected with interpersonal competencies of electrical engineering students. They are ability to criticize and self-criticism, interaction (teamwork), interpersonal skills and abilities, ability to work in an interdisciplinary team, ability to communicate with experts from other fields, positive attitude to dissimilarity and ability of cross-cultural communication as well as ethical commitments. It was emphasized that the graduates and employers had identified teamwork and interpersonal skills as dominant competencies.
In this context, the authors proposed a model of an educational environment that would promote the formation of soft skills (social interaction and cooperation) as well as creative potential’s model for engineering students. Introduction of the models into the system of electrical engineering education could become a relevant and necessary step to ensure the competitiveness of engineering graduates in the labor market.
Professor Natalia Sosnytska, Associate Professor Mykola Morozov and Assistant Professor Larysa Khalanchuk took part in the Simulation in Electrical Engineering section. Larysa Khalanchuk presented a joint report Modeling of electron state in quantum dot structures. In the report, the authors noted that today the methods of mathematical computer modeling are becoming useful in studying various systems and phenomena. A promising area is the use of the Scilab computer algebra system to model the states of electrons at various quantum dots (QDs). It is widely used in the development of alternative energy sources including solar panels.
The speakers noted that providing an effective system of the engineering professional training becomes the basis for the state welfare, the component of sustainable development of society, the guarantee of engineering professional self-realization and stable professional lifelong development in accordance with the interests and needs of Ukrainian economy.
