English has undoubtedly become the science and research lingua franca in the world in both oral and written communication. The capacity of English of scientists significantly affects the quality of research papers and presentations much more seriously than before. The global advancement of scientific research demands scientists to conduct oral presentations and write presentation slides by themselves...
A new necessity in the Mexican commercialization area of sportswear and training equipment was detected. An extremely important aspect of commercialization is to develop a methodology specialized in defining an optimal intellectual property strategy for the protection of uncommon technological developments. The development of the intellectual property strategy is be based on the design of a methodology...
The paper introduces some pedagogical technologies for training of engineers and state their brief characteristics. We address such approaches as project based training, mind maps, theory of the resolution of invention-related tasks (TRIZ), case studies, master classes and business games. At the end we state some experience in comparing the performance of project based and non-project based organized...
Today, multimedia-based materials are the most significant source of information. The first conference of a series called ‘Multimedia in Education’ was organised in the town of Keszthely, Hungary, more than 21 years ago, in 1995. This series of conferences has been organised annually ever since - by different institutions and at different locations, but with the same professional enthusiasm and effort...
In the conditions of internationalization of the higher school increase of competitiveness of higher education institution is impossible without creation of a strong brand. One of the factors influencing this process is the inclusiveness of university in the international activity.

This paper describes how dominant theories relating to outcome-based learning and workforce competency were synthesized into a singular outcome-based competency model to address a general problem of ineffectual training evaluation. A baseline model was developed using leading theories from the academic literature pertaining to competencies for systems engineers across three categories: cognitive,...
The multimedia facilities workability in the ‘Physics’ course engineering students' laboratory works independent preparation is considered in this piece of work. The examples of the video instructions packages provided with the laboratory tests, which are performed by the NSTU General Physics Department students, are also shown in the article.
The article considers the additional professional education (APE) program “Occupational Safety and Health (OSH)” and the master's program “Health Safety and Environmental (HSE) Management System” for graduate students. In the article the program urgency, goals, objectives, and content are analyzed. The multidisciplinary approach towards teaching of university students and training concerning the given...
The article discusses the organization architecture of smart learning courses in university students' training. The course architecture is displayed in the form of a diagram. The results of testing of the proposed architecture are presented and analyzed.
Software organizations and educational institutions rely heavily upon e-learning technologies nowadays. There is a requirement to know how numerous interventions can influence the recognized determinants of IT design, acceptance and usage. The statistical meta-analysis of several prototypes, particularly the technology acceptance model (TAM) studies have shown that it is a valid and robust model that...
Networked organizations must grapple with a constant trade-off between ease of workflow for their employees, and devoting time and resources to computer security. In a group of collaborators whose workflows can differ substantially, creating broad and cohesive awareness around security can be difficult, especially for spaces like news institutions, where continuous collaboration must be carried out...
Simulation and serious games (SSG) are often advocated as promising computer-based solutions supporting training and increasing the skills necessary to deal with new, complex and often unexpected situations. For emergency management (EM), there are organizations that already report unique benefits from utilizing SSGs, while others are waiting to find stronger evidence before procurement, or struggling...
Nowadays, skin diseases have increased due to various external effects such as chemical, radiological and so on.
