VILLAGE Project

Virtual Innovative Learning Laboratories for Global Engineering Education

VILLAGE is a joint research and innovation (R&I) project

The VILLAGE project aims to generate a sustainable learning model for laboratory engineering education considering the new normal and the needs of the instructors with the exchange of staff within partnerships of universities, research infrastructures and SMEs in Europe and beyond, which aims to strengthen inter-sectoral and international collaboration.


The objectives for this purpose are listed below. 

1. to analyse the existing instructional design models that are suitable for applied engineering teaching and evaluating their deficiencies for the needs of the new normal, 

2. to analysing the needs of engineering instructors for teaching in engineering laboratories with regards to the students’ views while considering the necessities of the new normal, 

3. to define the roadmaps for an instructional design model considering the multidimensional, multicultural, and multidisciplinary aspects for online engineering laboratories teaching,

4. to create a sustainable distance education model, test and suggest for engineering laboratories teaching, 

5. to develop the skills of academic and non-academic staff with respect to various aspects of engineering laboratories teaching.
