The Drawing4VET project aims to enhance vocational education in technical drawing by leveraging digital tools and innovative teaching methods. The key objectives of the project are:
- Improve Product Quality and Reduce Scrap Rates in Manufacturing:
One of the primary goals is to contribute to green manufacturing by minimizing scrap rates and time losses in production processes. Well-trained vocational education graduates will help reduce production errors, leading to a more efficient production chain. This will not only improve quality but also ensure better resource efficiency, contributing to environmental sustainability. - Enhance Visualization Skills Using Digital Tools:
One of the most significant challenges students face in technical drawing courses is the ability to mentally visualize three-dimensional objects and represent them accurately. By developing AR/VR-supported content, the project will help students overcome these challenges and improve their multi-dimensional thinking skills, enabling them to apply theoretical knowledge in practical contexts. - Develop Accessible Educational Content Using Plain Language:
The project will ensure that the curriculum is accessible to disadvantaged groups by using plain language, making the content easier to understand for all learners, including those with hearing impairments. This approach aims to provide equal opportunities for students from all backgrounds, enhancing their employability and success in the workplace. - Strengthen the Link Between Education and Industry Expectations:
To keep up with the rapidly evolving demands of the industry, vocational education curricula must be updated regularly. Drawing4VET aims to strengthen the connection between educational institutions and the needs of the labor market, ensuring that graduates are better equipped to meet industry expectations. The project will also help students build confidence in their technical skills, preparing them for success in the workplace. - Develop and Test Innovative Educational Curricula:
The curricula developed through the project will be based on industry requirements, addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of technical drawing. These curricula will be supported by digital tools and will undergo rigorous testing and evaluation to ensure their effectiveness. The results of these tests will guide further improvements to the educational content, ensuring that it meets the needs of both students and industry professionals.
