Description
Summary:In the presented report, through in-depth study of international researches, the importance of standards in all areas of life and pressing need to deepen the study of standards in the higher engineering education has been reasoned. Results of a questionnaire survey have been stooped, with respondents - engineering students, confirming their awareness that enhanced study in the field of standardization is needed. Education about standards and up to date information about them is condition for improving the quality and effectiveness of their study. The authors propose a comprehensive approach to education about standards, which includes complementing of the curriculum of technical subjects and creation of new discipline that studies standards used in the particular specialty and those found in everyday life. Positive contribution to the creation of good qualified engineers has access to updated information about standards, which would be achieved through the establishment of an Information Centre at campus in constant contact with Standardization Institute.
