The NUFT delegation got acquainted with the material and technical base of the Bialystok Polytechnic, educational audiences, laboratory equipment, scientific projects, educational and methodological support, normative documents, peculiarities of the educational process, the current state of higher education and science in Poland, and with the planes.
On June 12, in the conference hall of the mechanical faculty of the Bialystok Polytechnic, a seminar-presentation on NUFT was held. The interest of the participants in the cooperation was obvious from the number of questions.
Particular attention was paid to the forms of the educational process and the scientific work of the students during the acquaintance with the mechanical faculty of the Bialystok Polytechnic. It was found that about 40% of the students of the Mechanical Faculty of Polytechnic participate in scientific circles: designing and creating robots, drones, race cars, rovers and more. The quality of such work is confirmed by participation in international competitions and occupied prize places.
Also our lecturers got acquainted with the organization of work in the dean’s office and other structural divisions of the faculty, activity of teaching staff and student life at the university.
