A duális és a hagyományos képzési formában folytatott szakmai gyakorlat vizsgálata
An Analysis of Internship in Dual and “Normal” Programme
A tanulmány célja a duális és a hagyományos képzésben részt vevő hallgatók szakmai gyakorlatának vizsgálata. A kínálati oldalról (hallgatók) online kérdőíven, a keresleti oldalról (vállalatok) néhány vállalat HR-vezetőjével készített interjún keresztül gyűjtöttünk információt. Eredményeink azt mutatják, hogy a megkérdezett hallgatók többsége ismeri a duális képzést. A duális képzésben részt vevő hallgatók legfőbb motivációs tényezője rövid távon a szakmai gyakorlat megszerzése és a rendszeres jövedelem megléte. Hosszú távú céljaik között a professzionális szakmai ismeretek megszerzése és a jól fizető munka szerepel, míg a hagyományos képzésen tanulóknál a professzionális szakmai ismeretek megszerzése mellett egy jó csapatba kerülést tartották fontosnak. A megkérdezett vállalatok a duális képzésben tanulók szakmai gyakorlatához számos előnyt soroltak, úgymint a jobb mintaterv, a világos határidők és feltételek és a mélyebb szakmai tapasztalatszerzés.
Abstract
Neutron activation analysis (NAA) remains an excellent technique to introduce undergraduate students to nuclear science and engineering coming from different academic areas. The NAA methods encompass an appreciation of basic reactor engineering concepts, radiation safety, nuclear instrumentation and data analysis. At the Nuclear Engineering Teaching Lab at the University of Texas at Austin we have continued to provide opportunities through outreach programs to Huston-Tillotson University in Austin and Florida Memorial University in Miami Gardens, both Historically Black Colleges and Universities, and Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas. Furthermore, in the past four years we have established a strong educational collaboration with the École Nationale Supérieure d’Ingénieurs de Caen (ENSICAEN), France. Undergraduate students at ENSICAEN are required to have an internship outside of France. While many of the students stay in neighboring European countries others have chosen the United States. The cornerstone of these programs is to secure a relationship with each institution through clear educational and research objectives and goals.
Abstract
Advances in science and technology are now at the heart of the global economy, but the number of students earning degrees in the sciences, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields has stalled. According to the National Association for Colleges and Employers (NACE), programs have been initiated nationwide to nurture interest in the sciences, including research competitions, co-ops and internships, and K-12 STEM education. Senior thermal analysis scientists are not only researchers, they are role models, mentors and teachers intimately involved in the recruitment and training of young scientists. The authors present guidelines for thermal analysis research project planning for high school students, undergraduate students and master’s and doctoral candidates. Project planning includes developmentally appropriate techniques, methods, instruments, scope and significance. Case studies illustrate examples of short-term, concrete materials analysis projects tailored to younger student researchers, as well as master’s level projects making significant contributions to the state of the science and innovative doctoral research. In addition to designing projects for students at all levels, senior thermal analysis scientists can use specific teaching and training techniques to help young scientists develop their abilities in the lab and at the podium.
Summary
Missouri University, a recipient of a U.S. Department of Energy Radiochemistry Education Award Program (REAP) grant in 1999, has significantly expanded its education and research mission in radiochemistry. While MU had a viable radiochemistry program through existing faculty expertise and the utilization of the Missouri University Research Reactor, the REAP award allowed MU to leverage its resources in significantly expanding capabilities in radiochemistry. Specifically, the grant enabled the: (1) hiring of a new faculty member in actinide radiochemistry (Dr. Paul Duval); (2) support of six graduate students in radiochemistry; (3) purchase of new radiochemistry laboratory equipment; (4) more extensive collaboration with DOE scientists through interactions with faculty and graduate students, and (5) revised radiochemical curriculum (joint courses across disciplines and new courses in actinide chemistry). The most significant impact of this award has been in encouraging interdisciplinary education and research. The proposal was initiated by a joint effort between Nuclear Engineering and Chemistry, but also included faculty in biochemistry, radiology, and molecular biology. Specific outcomes of the REAP grant thus far are: (1) increased educational and research capabilities in actinide chemistry (faculty hire and equipment acquisition); (2) increased integration of biochemistry and radiochemistry (e.g., radiochemical analysis of uranium speciation in biological systems); (3) stronger interdisciplinary integration of molecular biology and radiochemical sciences (alpha-emitters for treating cancer); (4) new and more extensive interactions with national laboratory facilities (e.g., student internships at LANL and LLBL, faculty and lab scientist exchange visits, analytical measurements and collaboration with the Advanced Photon Source), and (7) new research funding opportunities based on REAP partnership.
, the discontinuation of corporate internships and training workshops, tackling mass unemployment, and organizing retraining courses for those affected became an extraordinary task for initial VET and adult education in all former socialist countries
as a school-based practical phase. In the majority of cases, student teachers ascribe great importance to university internships with regard to their own professionalization (see Arnold et al., 2011 , p. 9), although this is not always confirmed
