Adani Institute of Infrastructure Engineering (AIIE) is established to equip the students to become modern-day engineers and managers primarily for the infrastructure and allied sectors. The Institute is presently conducting three Bachelor Programmes in Engineering. 1. BE- Civil & Infrastructure Engineering, 2.BE-Electrical Engineering, 3.BE -Information & Communication Technology. Adani Institute of Infrastructure Library embarked on a change journey in 2008 for services in support of the education. The concept for creating a maker space for engineering students within the library to foster activity -based learning. Maker spaces are over just places to create things; a maker space may be a physical location wherever people gather to share resources and knowledge, work on projects, network, and build. The NMC Horizon Report: 2015 higher education the paper examines the awareness and importance of library maker spaces. A questionnaire was used for collection of data. Around 50 questionnaires were distributed among the students. A total of 30 stuffed in questionnaires were selected for analysis of the data. While there is a push to include maker spaces in universities, very little is understood regarding the expertise of establishing maker spaces on engineering campuses. Typically, these maker spaces contain 3D printers and laser cutters, and offer facilities to conduct work, personal and collaborative projects. The idea for creating a maker space for engineering library is promotional activity-based learning. Maker spaces are over just places to make things; a maker space may be a physical location wherever people gather to share resources and knowledge, work practical projects, network, and build. Libraries that have lengthy been substitutable with peace and tranquillity are currently thought of as a part in which there have to be a stability between quiet surroundings and social dynamic mood. The intention of this study is to observe the importance of maker space of engineering libraries that is tremendously needed in technological advancements and alteration of ancient systems with new ones. This analysis consists of reviewing the domestic samples, conforming examples to library maker space and inspecting numerous libraries over a duration of time. The outcomes of this find out about indicate that generally, modern libraries have fewer areas for paper books and publications and individual study, instead, bigger spaces are committed to locations for cluster studies and the use of computer and maker space etc. This trade has influenced the function of the library space and maker space.

And Training

Charismatic speaking skills, particularly those of the voice, are known to be an important asset of managers, politicians, and even teachers. Students have so far been less in the limelight in this regard, although modern collaborative-learning and oral-examination concepts suggest that vocal charisma can already be a decisive factor for study success as well. The present paper examines this question based on 82 electrical-engineering students. Their initial self-introductions in front of the other fellow students were analyzed using a new acoustic technology that translates 16 voice features into a total vocal charisma (PASCAL) score. Results show that these PASCAL scores are overall low (i.e. improvable) and positively correlated with the oral exam grades of both individual students and student teams. Moreover, the teams' PASCAL scores positively correlate with the per-formance in the "Marshmallow Challenge", i.e. a creative teamwork task. Additional in-depth analyses show that teams without any above-average charismatic student performed worst, but that teams with more than one above-average charismatic student struggled with leadership conflicts and solo actions. We interpret our findings as a strong plea for (vocal) charisma analysis to be integrated in higher-education practice both for managing team dynamics and performance and for increasing individual study success.

Quality Of Higher Education

Abstract The problem of professional training of skilled human personnel in the industry of information communication technology, the urgency of which is recognized at the state level of Ukraine and the world, has been considered. It has been traced that constantly growing requirements of the labour market, swift scientific progress require the use of innovative approaches to the training of future ІТ specialists with the aim to increase their professional level. The content of standards of professional training and development of information technologies specialists in foreign countries, particularly in Japan, has been analyzed and generalized. On the basis of analysis of educational and professional standards of Japan, basic requirements to the engineer in industry of information communication technology in the conditions of competitive environment at the labour market have been comprehensively characterized. The competencies that graduate students of educational qualification level of bachelor in the conditions of new state policy concerning upgrading the quality of higher education have been considered. The constituents of professional competence in the structure of an engineer-programmer’s personality, necessary on different levels of professional improvement of a specialist for the development of community of highly skilled ІТ specialists, have been summarized. Positive features of foreign experience and the possibility of their implementation into the native educational space have been distinguished. Directions for modernization and upgrading of the quality of higher education in Ukraine and the prospects for further scientific research concerning the practice of specialists in information technologies training have been suggested

The Bologna Process

The Bologna Process, Information and Communication Technology, and market forces have brought manyinnovations and great changes to higher education systems throughout Europe. Reforms in higher educationhave taken a new direction, towards making higher education students more autonomous. However, manycountries have not really adopted this innovative way of teaching and still maintain an old ‘transmission’ stylewhich often entails teachers trying to pour knowledge into the minds of their students. Promoting autonomouslearning (the ability of students to manage their own learning) in higher education is crucial both for theindividual and society, as the idea of an academic student comprises critical reflective thinking and theimportance of becoming an independent learner. This article will discuss the importance of promotingautonomous learning throughout self, peer and co-assessment for higher education quality enhancement. Thepaper will examine the case of International Black Sea University’s MA students enrolled in the Higher EducationManagement program. The analyses of a survey will be used to discuss the significance of autonomous learningfor students and their readiness for self, peer and co-assessment.

In this study, the integration of fuzzy analytic hierarchy processes (FAHPs) and fuzzy overlays in GIS was used to determine appropriate geographic zones for the establishment of knowledge intensive firms in 22 districts of the Tehran metropolis. According to the theoretical background, a number of criteria were selected for the identification of appropriate geographic zones. The results show that among the selected criteria, proximity to existing knowledge intensity firms, and companies providing information and communication technology (ICT) services, higher education and research centers, being close to convenient transportation network and land use have more important role in the location of firms. According to the findings, among 22 regions, regions 3, 7, 6, 1, 2, 10, 4, 11, and 12 are the most desirable ones for the deployment of firms. Ultimately, regions 6, 7, 3, and 1 have received “very high” priority for the deployment of knowledge intensive firms.

Admission Test

This brief article provides a description of some new ideas about admission of university engineering students in Sweden. The current system of admission is based on upper-secondary school grades and the Swedish Scholastic Assessment Test. These measures are used for admission to all higher education. For many reasons, ideas for a new admission model have been proposed. This model includes a sector-oriented admission test, which the universities are supposed to use for different purposes, such as selection, eligibility, diagnostics, and recruitment.
