Project description
The goal of the project VirSTEM - Virtual technology for use in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) is to create an international open educational resource – online course "Basic Engineering Graphics" 3 ECTS which innovatively integrates BIM (Building Information Modelling). The course will be designed for Bachelor level Engineering students of Construction specialities, both daily and distance learners, as well as distance service training for specialists.
The VirSTEM project will be carried out by the team of 5 well-known higher education institutions that teach engineering in the countries around the Baltic sea - TTK UAS Estonia - coordinator, and partners - VGTU Lithuania, RTU Latvia, TAMK UAS and Metropolia UAS Finland. These universities have long-term successful partnerships in the field of civil engineering in teaching construction specialities.
Project teams consist of experienced teachers who are highly skilled experts in the field of BIM modelling with very valuable practical experience as well as good project management skills.
