Practical Classes under "Project Activity" Discipline Started at Moscow Poly
The education focuses on developing project thinking and acquiring by students practical skills necessary when working on various tasks. The student teams from different faculties majoring in different field areas are working on real life cases, what ensures the interdisciplinary within the team and allows to successfully cope with the tasks of any orientation and difficulty.
“Project activity is some kind of a floodgate between the educational and labor sphere that students find themselves in. Theory, practical and lab classes provide both thorough and fragmentary skills. The project activity is aimed at uniting all of that. Not simply solving tasks falling under the competencies if one`s field area but also building communication with their colleagues, work in teams, creating time chains in the working process. It`s the environment that helps students master non-obvious skills”, - shared press in his interview with “Poly Media” media Moscow Poly Center for Project Activity deputy director Pavel Tarasov.
Over 170 projects have been submitted for the new academic year starting from making HR career maps, scientific project for receiving fundings, as well as synergy to strategic elaborations to implement at Moscow Poly. Also, the University industrial partners suggest trying to solve their own cases. Thus, among the cases available there are the cases provided by the ‘Berkut’ construction bureau, research assignments for “Tinkoff” bank and Mosgortrans, as well as promotion assignments of the “Science” publishing house and much more.
At the introductory lecture, the students met their supervisors and other participants of the projects chosen and identified the tasks that they`ll working on in the course of the 2 following terms. Moscow Poly freshmen are yet to be introduced to the project activity, learn about the basic tools for working in teams and find out what design-thinking is. The first meeting for them will take place on 19 September.
