Wroclaw University of Technology.

Mission:

The Wroclaw University of Technology is an autonomous university, a research insti- tution of a university type. Its mission is to shape creative and critical personalities of the students and to chart directions for development of science and technology.

Let’s start with the history …

Wroclaw University of Technology came a long way from the first Polish lecture on 15th November 1945 to the lectures held by the cooperating com- panies specialists in the framework of the 2008 Ministry of Science and Higher Education project regardning ordered specia- lisations at the technical, mathematical and natural science units.

Roots: Lwov University of Technology (1844) – academic staff & traditionTechnische Hochschule Breslau (1910) – infrastructure

Ordered study on Electronics Faculty WUT

• 1st pilotage programme of the Polish Ministry of High Education and Science, called „ordered study”, was started in 2008 and implemented at WUT (lasted 3 years); study major: control and robotics,

• 2nd edition of the programe of the Polish Ministry of High Education and Science, called „ordered study”, was started in 2010 (till 2013); study majors: computer engineering and control + robotics,

• 3rd edition of the programe of the Polish Ministry of High Education and Science, so called „ordered study”, started in 2012 (till 2015), study majors: computer engineering and control + robotics (approx 1 mln €),

• resources will be distributed on the students (scholarships) and spend to support additional educational programms aside from the normal courses, to prepare students better to labour market needs.

Exemplary courses within the ordered study programme

• additional courses widening the basis programme with the specialist problems tightly linked with ordered specialization (languages, form of classes, lectures or laboratories);

• interships and traineships;• lectures held by the worldwide notriety science representants which

researches are tightly linked with ordered specializations – outside seminars;• enriching the course offer with the e-laerning courses organized trips for the

science and technology fairs; • organizing trips for the students and financing their participation in the

International conferences devoted to the realized - organizing visits in the industry companies;

• 58 IT laboratories scientific-research-educational
