The SINCOE project was also presented in our team members article Competence in sustainable development – How to assess? in UAS Journal 2/2024. The aim of the article is to discuss the challenges assessing the generic competence of sustainable development and provide ideas and recommendations on how to develop and assess this competence, which is becoming increasingly important as a learning outcome in higher education. 

 

In addition, work has been carried out to disseminate the results of the project through various multiplier events. For example, the Turku UAS team had a successful workshop at the national Inssiforum event in March 2024. The workshop was attended by more than 40 developers and experts in engineering education. 

Moreover, the SINCOE project has continued to make progress with its second round of pilots in the spring term. The pilots have been conducted in various authentic courses with different target groups and multiple viewpoints in fields of Media, Design, Engineering, Business, Marketing and Social Sciences. These pilots have been instrumental in the development of the toolbox and training materials for the SINCOE project. Stay tuned for more updates on the SINCOE project!
