Environmental Compartments

For ten years, the Division of Applied Science, University of Paderborn, has gained experience with a four-year undergraduate environmental engineering programme. Up to now, more than 400 graduates have successfully entered a professional career, proving that the educational concept is accepted by the employment sector, e.g. consultants, industry and authorities. Important aspects of this concept are the combination of civil engineering - as a core engineering field - with natural environmental sciences in the basic studies, the coverage of all environmental compartments in the main studies before specialisation in one area, and a strong practical component of the curriculum both inside and outside the university.

Environmental Infrastructure

Traditionally in Germany environmental engineering education took place within the context of a civil engineering programme. There were reasons for this: the beginning of much of what we understand today to be environmental works fell within the parameters of city engineering. There were and are advantages mostly in view of the necessary planning, construction and operation of environmental infrastructure. There are also disadvantages which become more and more pronounced as the field of environmental protection expands: the civil engineer frequently lacks basic training in disciplines such as biology and chemistry and carries a large and sometimes burdensome knowledge of other less relevant subjects. Thus, educators begin to look for alternatives. This paper deals with an alternative that was developed some ten years ago and therefore has proven viable and successful: at the University of Karlsruhe students may choose to major in environmental engineering within the context or on the basis of an economics and business administration curriculum. The basic question here is as to what extent the student masters the field of environmental engineering if he or she has predominantly a solid background in social sciences and very little in natural sciences. The paper will describe the curriculum in structure and intensity and evaluate the accumulated knowledge and suitability of these students in terms of actual environmental problems. This will be done in terms of examination performance parallel and/or relative to traditionally trained civil environmental engineers as well as in terms of topics successfully treated in Masters' theses. In conclusion, it is argued that such combination of curricula should not be confined to economic sciences and environmental engineering but also be planned for legal sciences and environmental engineering.

This workshop will create a space for discussion on environmental politics and its impact on design for sustainable transitions. It will help participants identify different sustainability discourses; create a space for reflection on how these discourses influence design practice; and consider the environmental and social implications of different discourses. The workshop will do this work by encouraging knowledge sharing, reflection and interpretative mapping in a participatory space where individuals will create their own discourse maps. This work is informed by my research “Mapping Climate Communication” conducted at the Centre for Science and Technology Policy Research (CSTPR) in the Cooperative Institute for Environmental Sciences (CIRES), the University of Colorado, Boulder. With this research project I developed a discourse mapping method based on the discourse analysis method of political scientists and sustainability scholars. Using my own work as an example, I will facilitate a process that will enable participants to create new discourse maps reflecting their own ideas and agendas.

ISSN 2300-0422. DOI 10.14746/kse.2018.14.14. The study identified physical education students’ opinions about and vision of personal career. It was conducted with a questionnaire designed by A. Cybal-Michalska for planning career prospects and career development in modern society by academic youth. Results demonstrate the professional expectations of the sample to be largely met. Students of the University School of Physical Education in Wroclaw are oriented towards individualistic and collectivistic values to a similar extent. Both groups are moderately satisfied with study choices and have a realistic outlook on the difficulties in finding a job consistent withtheir education. They assess the prospect of a satisfactory career on an equally moderate level, although individualist-oriented students perceive significantly fewer ways of achieving professional success. Collectivistic students emphasize values characteristic of a safe future and working with people and for people. Individualistic students are geared towards innovative and creative activities. Students perceive their careers in the psychological dimension, and select lifestyle and professionalism as the lead guides in career development.

Objective: To analyze the influences and repercussions of enterostomal therapy on the career of nurses. Methods: Descriptive, exploratory study with quantitative approach, conducted in 2014. The sample consisted of 29 nurses graduated from the Nursing School of the University of São Paulo and the University of Taubaté. The data were collected through a questionnaire and analyzed by SPHINXR software. The results were discussed in the light of the literature on the subject. Results: The continuity of the studies provided the nurse a career with promotions, management positions or even a career redirection. The work environment influenced the achievement of the specialty (21/79%). The participants worked in several types of institutions and their positions were diverse, thus presenting options for those who want to pursue a career in the area. Conclusion: The job market, as well as the environment in which the nurse is inserted, most of the time plays a defining role when the subject is the choice of a specialization.

Professional Formation

The article considers the need for psychological and pedagogical support for the professional formation of humanities students. It pays special attention not only to the acquired knowledge and skills in the process of studying at the university but also to the acquisition of professional skills and abilities. These abilities allow the student to identify him with the specialists of the chosen profession. The study of the problem of psychological and pedagogical support for the professional formation of students, as well as the development of certain aspects of the implementation of support programs at the university level, are at the stage of discussion and accumulation of empirical material in Russia. It becomes an urgent task to develop the trajectory of psychological and pedagogical support for students, which will allow them to realize higher needs in the field of training and education and build a more successful professional career. This article describes the stages of psychological and pedagogical support of professional formation (adaptation, identification, consulting). The aims, objectives and content of the defined stages are considered, based on which the trajectory of psychological and pedagogical support of professional formation is built. The trajectory was created using a competency-based approach included in the general system of integrated professional training. The effectiveness of the selected trajectory is verified by the means of various techniques.
