The objective of this paper is to document the experience of developing and implementing a second-year course in an engineering professional spine that was developed in a first-tier research university and relies on project-based core courses. The main objective of this spine is to develop the students’ cognitive and employability skills that will allow them to stand out from the crowd of other engineering graduates.The spine was developed and delivered for the first time in the academic year 2010-2011 for first-year general engineering students. In the year 2011-2012, those students joined different programs, and accordingly the second-year course was tailored to align with the different programs’ learning outcomes. This paper discusses the development and implementation of the course in the Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) department.

Method of calculating the index of crisis of gratification has been developed on the basis of the complete survey of 995 students of medical university and 804 students of engineering university, determination of clinical and social parameters and factors related to the process of education in the specialized university. It included: a scale for the assessment of the degree of intellectual intensity, academic performance, stress situations related to the peculiarities of education. Reliable differences in values between groups of healthy students, students with preclinical and clinical forms of mental disorders are revealed as a result of calculation of the index of gratification. The authors conclude that satisfaction with the results of education has a significant impact on the mental health of university students.

The article discusses the procedure of the preparation of test materials for the diagnosis of cognitive learning outcomes in chemistry. It is shown that the use of the thesaurus approach to the selection of the content and methods of mathematical statistics provides a test with high reliability and validity coefficients. Key words: diagnostic test, chemistry, educational measurement.

As the Bologna Process moves forward, changes in European systems of higher education are expected. The introduction of the ECTS focussing on the students’ achievements described in terms of the learning outcomes and competences acquired is one of the innovations. This process, encouraged by Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, signifies a change in teaching focus, from an input model to an output one, which promotes self-assessment in a flexible curriculum, in this case adapted to student’s language profile. To illustrate this new approach in language learning, a pilot experience with Technical English mining engineering students is discussed, with special attention to learner reflection and self-assessment practices. Students’ progress in self-assessment, based on the introduction of learning outcomes in specific language courses, is analysed to conclude that personal engagement and clear purpose -specified in terms of learning outcomes- seem to have become relevant components to student's self-assessment practice.

The problem in this study is that students are less interested in learning and seen from the daily results obtained from SMAW subject teachers that the learning outcomes of SMAW subjects in the Welding Engineering department are still low. The purpose of this study is to determine whether there is a relationship between interest in learning and learning outcomes in SMAW subjects. This type of research is descriptive correlational research. The sample stated in this study were all students of class XI of the Welding Engineering Department who participated in the 48 Solid Metal Arc Welding subjects. The results of the study revealed a contribution of a positive relationship between interest in learning with student learning outcomes in the field of study SMAW Class XI Welding Engineering students of SMK Negeri 1 West Sumatra 2018/2019 learning year. This gives the meaning of the higher interest in learning, the higher learning outcomes of SMAW learning outcomes.

Mathematics is the basis before learning coding-based courses. This type of research is quantitative descriptive. Sample of 110 informatics engineering students. The results of the study showed a significant association of learning outcomes in mathematics with the achievement of learning programming languages. The magnification coefficient of 0.663 has a moderate and positive meaning. The contribution of mathematics in explaining programming languages ​​is 43.97% and the remaining 56.03% is accepted by other variables. Students' perceptions of mathematics and programming languages ​​consist of four levels of understanding, namely the five senses, analysis, interpretation and evaluation. Every level of dimension. On the sensory dimension of 31.9% mathematics has a close relationship with programming languages. In the dimensions of analysis and interpretation, the value of the percentage of perceptions that are almost the same namely 21.24% and 21.14% associate mathematical concepts with the concepts of programming languages. In the evaluation dimension of 20.6%, it shows that in programming languages, students need information other than mathematics, namely the purpose of the programming language that is being designed.
