Work Package 4 INNOMET for Engineering
professions

• Ongoing activities
• Tallinn University of Technology
• Tauno Otto

2
Planned activities

• Development of the INNOMET system in the field of
  engineering professions (definition of skills,
  structure qualifications, training needs)
• Sample 2 re-training courses developed in the
  field of engineering based on industry needs for
  KTH and TUT

3
From WP1

• INNOMET II extends the definition by stating that
  competence is the sum of knowledge and skills and
  by introducing the concept of competence modules.
  
• The definition of a competence module makes it
  possible to distinguish between knowledge,
  skills, and competence.

4
Working methods and techniques

• The results of system enhancement for competence
  management are analysed for engineering levels.
  Needed skills are defined for Engineering
  qualification levels.
• Two re-training courses are developed for
  Engieering levels, using e-learning methodology
  and platforms.

5
Tasks

• Definition of skill lists for engineering fields
• Development of two re-training courses
• Development of engineering levels at Innomet
  system

Course modularisation

• Existing courses should evaluated by taxonomies
• Creation of a single e-course including all
  levels is impossible
• Modularised e-courses are not supported by
  university curricula
