The final report of the project “Creation of Education module “Climate changes” in Liepaja University” was approved in July 2016.
The Project has been started in April 2015. During the Project were created and approbated 4 study courses – “Climate technologies”, “Use of renewable resources”, “Modelling of environment processes” and “Practical solutions of environmental engineering”. Study courses are oriented on the solution of engineering technologies for reducing of CO2 and contribute to use more renewable energy technologies. There are used modern and innovative computer technologies for developing skills of promoting global data projection, modelling and simulation by creating forecast of environmental factors. Significant role in the project plays the use of modern laboratory equipment such as solar collectors, thin layer evaporation equipment etc.
During the project several seminars and workshops for various target groups were organized and there were designed open-access training materials.
Also after the end of the project development process the study has been continued for professional bachelor study program “Management and Engineering of Environment and Renewable resources”, life-long learning and other programs and also for the research in the Institute of Science and Innovative Technologies and Faculty of Science and Engineering.
Participants of the project took part in the annual national education, innovation and technology conference “LatSTE`2016” – carrier in the digital age” which took place on 25-26 September, 2016 with their report ‘The Use of IT in the Climate Education’.
