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

“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. – EU STEM PD Center Network
