Creativity and innovation in engineering education
(2017) Duşe, Dan Maniu; Duşe, Carmen
Creativity is vital in process engineering innovation. The research can reveal with certainty on tests of creativity whether in universities, in cycles (bachelor, master and doctoral school), creativity is present and what are its dimensions prevail. Our study was focused on creativity tests analysis of two European universities, the AGH University of Science and Technology, Faculty of Drilling Oil & Gas, PL and »Lucian Blaga« University from Sibiu, RO for two cycles of study, master and doctoral school. We aim to find existing links between creativity and engineering skills of master's programs offered and the level of creativity existing in doctoral schools of the two universities. Knowing and understanding the characteristics of the group of students, teachers surgery offers the opportunity to get a successful learning and professional development. Then, these findings can be used to optimize learning, performance and perfection engineering training. Not least research highlights the first noticeable effects of the Bologna cycles studies on the generation »Z« (milliennials) students, in terms of creativity existence.

Development of guide material for the education of cultural immovable heritage management for bachelor students of geomatics engineering
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2023) Çoruhlu, Yakup Emre; Er Nas, Sibel; Uzun, Bayram; Yıldız, Okan; Şahin, Fatih; Terzi, Fatih; Çelik, Mehmet Özgür
Türkiye has a wealth of foundations and their properties, assets managed by the General Directorate of Foundations (GDF) through its geomatics engineers. This article aims to identify the misconceptions of senior undergraduate geomatics engineering students (sample group) about the relationship between foundations and land ownership registered as cultural heritage. It will develop and implement materials to eliminate these misconceptions and evaluate their effectiveness. This study consists of a preliminary, a pilot and the main application. The data collection instruments are an open-ended questionnaire, a semi-structured interview form and conceptual understanding tests. As a result of the analysis of the pre-study and the pilot study, guidance materials on information deficits and misunderstandings in the application of Article 30 of the Law on Foundations were developed. In the analysis of the quantitative data, the Wilcoxon signed-rank test is used, a non-parametric analysis methods. In the light of the data obtained from the study, it is recommended that materials be developed in other areas of land management to investigate their effectiveness.

Open Educational Resources (OER) in gas and petroleum engineering education
(2016) Duşe, Dan Maniu; Duşe, Carmen
The education and the training of the new generations is already visible to be challenging, due to the changes in the psychological profile of students and to the needs that they have regarding education. The computer is present in the lifes of the young people from a very early age, leading to the meaning it gets form the current and prospective students, the »Z« Generation. Therefore talking about Open Educational Resources is not just an idea, as it increases into a constant in education in general, but particularly in engineering education. This paper aims to present the actual directions of open education in Oil and Gas Engineering, and to focus the attention on the future needs.

Quality assurance of the natural gases engineering education in Romania
(2009) Duşe, Dan Maniu; Duşe, Carmen
One of the key elements required for an efficient implementation of the provisions of the Bologna Declaration in Romania, as in all countries that aim to be part of the European Higher Education Area, is undoubtedly the assurance of academic quality in the higher education institutions. In Romania, the universities are assessed based on the Accreditation Law of 1993, but also, more recently, based on a new Methodology for quality assurance in the higher education, targeting the institutional capability, the institutional effectiveness and the quality management in the universities. Based on the new methodology this paper outlines the main elements of the natural gases engineering study programme functioning within the ''Lucian Blaga'' and its compliance with the new legal and methodological provisions.

Research development - creativity and innovation's placein engineering education
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2018) Duşe, Dan Maniu; Duşe, Carmen
Is creativity a given by nature? Is this a legitimate question of all people that realize the value of creativity and hope to find more of it in each human being as often as possible? By learning more and more about creativity, we can better discover its direct connection to a certain domain. It is considered to be the aptitudes, knowledge, and personality characteristics that sustain and lead to creative thinking - to the creative behavior needed to have a creative a specific background to the developing domain. Different domains need to have different personality abilities, knowledge, aptitudes, and characteristics. The tests applied to the students belonging to engineering study programs increase the conviction that creativity is lacking in their knowledge abilities. The engineering profession is realized by means of a solution projection that has appeared, and creativity is the instrument that is used by engineers in solving their problems. The tests results have shown modest creative abilities that are valid for the students of both the universities of Romania as well as in Poland. More than that, although they belong to a promising generation (»the Y generation«), the modest dimension of their creativity is exclusively due to the modest system of education in promoting creativity. Solutions are at the hand of academic management: by means of bettering of the engineering curricula, of bettering the didactic behavior of the academic staff, and by means of sustaining the creativity concept in an engineering education.
