The developer of the educational program, Iryna OLEYNIKOVA, familiarized the participants with changes in the educational program related to the replacement of some courses with new ones and brought them up for discussion.
The practical expert Serhii KHOPERSKYI focused on the student’s ability to prepare a full-fledged working project, which contains all stages of development from idea to completed product in compliance with all technical requirements, on the continuity of theory and practice, on technological responsibility for the “flight of design imagination”.
The master of the Faculty of Design Anna DZIKEVICH, author of two successful startups developed under the leadership of Iryna Oleynikova, confirmed the importance for future lighting design specialists of studying such programs as “AutoCAD”, “DIALux”, and knowledge of norms and standards.
The postgraduate student Demid PEKUR drew attention to the programs that allow analytically, tabularly, and graphically describing the results of the set scientific experiments, preparing scientific articles, and recommended studying them meaningly.
As a result of the round table, the changes were approved. Several proposals from stakeholders on improving the educational program were agreed and they are planned to be implemented.
The Department of Applied Physics and Higher Mathematics, represented by the head and guarantor of the educational program, expresses to all participants of the round table, its strategic partners in educational activities, sincere gratitude for their cooperation, active position, and support.
