From product-oriented to Systems integration courses  Building a “systems project”: Multi-disciplinary skills needed for System integration  Not only Engineering knowledge, but soft-skills (team work, communication, decision-making, flexibility…)  Best practice: TI Innovation Challenge (TIIC) Europe Systems-level project, Automotive/ Industrial/ Innovation 7th edition  Results:  Participation triggered “Makers” spaces within universities  Winners: high visibility (Electronica fair, BMW Welt). Student start-ups  Opportunities for training & recruitment  Cross-discipline skills acquired (marketing, entrepreneurship, project management…)

Systems courses, the role of Analog and Power electronics  Lack of specialized Power engineers in the labour market  Analog & Power Electronics: concepts that industry demands  Educators’ feedback: analog is difficult to teach and to implement in practical courses  Best practice:  Analog and Power Management Educational Tools  Materials developed by Professors (experiment book)

 Objective: Addressing the GAP for Analog practical education.

Facilitating the inclusion of graduates in the industry

 Results:  ASLK: hundreds of higher-education centers in Europe already using it (covering the basics of analog electronics)  PMLK: Unique tool for teaching power management

Important Papers and Processes • European Commission – Bratislava Declaration: Digital Skills Making The Difference

• National Legislation – E.g. Germany: Digitale Agenda, National IT Summit, …

• Regional Regulations and Initiatives – E.g. level of states, Länder, provinces, departements, …

• Local activities – In cities and communities – In individual schools

“Employability” Mechanic Elektric/ Electronic

Mechatronic Digital-Mechatronic* Digital Competencies

 Digitalisation affects all professions  Mandate for all types of schools and for all subjects  Imperative for TI: help to prepare for challenges *from: EU Commissioner Günter Öttinger: European MINT Convention, Sept 2016, Stuttgart

Texas Instruments Approach • Products for learning and teaching • Professionalization of teachers and educators • Content for up-to-date lessons • Networking with key decision makers

Hardware, Software, App

Professionalization of Teachers • T3 – Teachers Teaching with Technology • Network of ~280 educators across Europe • Development and sharing of – teaching methods – educational content – classroom experience

• Various teacher training formats – School-internal (3h, 10-15 participants)

– Regional and National Conferences (1d, 80-180 p.)

– European “Sharing Inspirations” event (3d, 120-150 p.)

– Various online training

Educational Content • From TI, T3, publishers and others • From classic print to modern multimedia

Networking • Subject associations and media pedagogy – Math and science teacher organizations – Initiative D21 (DE), BfB (DE), AFINEF (FR), …

• Universities and other Higher Ed – pre-service and in-service teacher education – educational and didactical research

• Ministries of Education and pedagogical institutes – pilots – Curriculum advancement – Development of new examination formats

• European Institutions – EU STEM Alliance, European Schoolnet, Future Classroom Lab, Scientix, etc.
