Abstract

The gap between the industry expectations and power engineering education is becoming one of the significant barriers in workforce development in the energy sector. For the purpose of closing the gap, the curriculum in power engineering is expected to follow the up-to-date industry demand and workflow so that the students can be job-ready and competent in the energy job markets before graduation. However, the renewal of the deliverables of the courses is time-consuming and resource intensive. This paper presents an approach of data collection and analysis for curriculum development, which considers all the related stakeholders in curriculum renewal. The preliminary results of the pilot data collection are presented, demonstrating the effectiveness of the data collection method and the initiative of updating the curriculum framework. The contribution will benefit power engineering educators in course renewal for further iterations considering timely industry perspectives and students’ feedback.
正在进行的工作:弥合电力工程教育与电力工业之间差距的整体方法
行业期望与电力工程教育之间的差距正在成为能源行业劳动力发展的重大障碍之一。为了缩小这一差距,我们希望电力工程课程能够跟上最新的行业需求和工作流程,使学生能够在毕业前为就业做好准备并胜任能源就业市场。然而,课程成果的更新是耗时和资源密集的。本文提出了一种考虑到课程更新中所有相关利益相关者的课程开发数据收集和分析方法。介绍了试点数据收集的初步结果,证明了数据收集方法的有效性和更新课程框架的主动性。该贡献将有利于电力工程教育工作者在课程更新中进一步迭代,考虑及时的行业观点和学生的反馈。
