The project Mathematics on-line learning model in engineering education was successfully carried out at the very right moment as in recent two years there has been a significant increase in demand for a 100% online mathematics course with interactive learning materials and large-scale practicing opportunities as well as for a mathematics online assessment model. This has made it possible to increase student support when studying independently and teachers support when planning an online assessment. Greater support for learning and teaching in the education sector gave it a more competitive advantage as it helps to decrease drop-out behavior of students and minimize the workload of teachers. According to the New UNESCO global survey studying the impact of Covid-19 on higher education (2021) the pandemic has had an impact on higher education systems in terms of access and quality of teaching and learning. Covid-19 has caused the suspension and cancellation of teaching activities and its major impact on teaching and learning is the increase in online education. Taking into account the above, this project has successfully developed a high level engineering mathematics online course as a basis for offering output oriented education in engineering mathematics.The following activities were performed during the project: Creating the report of educational needs analysis (IO1)- Needs analysis and data gathering of partner countries and institutions were carried out. - Analysis of mathematical on-line assessment systems for partner countries and institutions were prepared.- Pedagogical analysis for on-line assessment of mathematics was made.Creating a new innovative online course in engineering mathematics in seven languages (IO2)The next activities were performed:- Analysis of subject in partner`s institutions- Development of the online course with some theoretical, practical and assessment tests- Translation of the online course- Conducting the pilot course- Asking for feedback from students- Revising on-line course- Development of the definite online course with theoretical, practical and assessment tests, engineering applications and course guidelines- Training for teachers- Asking for feedback from teachers- Conducting on-line course- Asking for feedback from students- Revising on-line courseCreating a mathematics online assessment model (IO3)- Literature review were carried out- Mathematics online assessment model was createdIn order to achieve project results, partners fields of subjects related to engineering mathematics were studied (IO1). This material enabled the team to build up the online course (IO2) and student competition (C1). In order to guarantee the quality the subject was piloted to students before carrying out the definitive course. The quality of the course was piloted to mathematics teachers (teacher training and ME). Based on the experience gained, the online assessment model in mathematics (IO3) was improved. The high quality of the online course is proven by the fact that we passed the preliminary round of the 7th e-Learning Excellence Awards at ECEL 2021.Partners of this project were 6 highly skilled HE institutions: the TTK UAS from Estonia, the Letterkenny Institute of Technology/LYIT from Ireland, the Polytechnic Institute of Porto/P.PORTO from Portugal, the University of the Basque Country/UPV/EHU from Spain, the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca/UTC from Romania and the Koszalin University of Technology/PK TUK from Poland. During the project unfolding the Spanish partner was replaced with Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya- BarcelonaTECH (UPC).This project involved various target groups, impact and benefits: - students and teachers, who benefit from a new innovative subject, which is added to the subjects of engineering mathematics. The innovative implementation makes the subject more attractive for students in each educational institution that participated in this project. The results are possible to use in other higher education institutions, secondary level schools and vocational schools.- expanding businesses, who will have a better educated workforce provided by educational institutions and by the research done by these institutions. As human resources are one of the most important resources in the company, it is important to provide high-quality education and competent employees to increase the productivity, effectiveness and competitiveness of the companies. Strategic international partnerships in the field of education and training are extremely important in order to increase the quality of education and training, which was one of the goals of this project, and it has become one of the most beneficial short and long-term outputs.The most significant indirect impact of the project was the rise of international cooperation between universities and higher qualification of the workforce of the participating institutions.

"The key action of the project is through strategic partnership to foster innovation and the exchange of good study practices through a strategic partnership between the TTK University of Applied Sciences (Tallinn, Estonia), TSI – Transport and Telecommunication Institute (Latvia Riga), HAMK – Häme University of Applied Sciences (Finland, Riihimäki), and VTI – Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute (Sweden Linköping). The main objective was innovation - the creation of an innovative study module in the field of transportation and logistics for professional higher education. The most important priority was to provide new opportunities for open education and innovative study practices in a digital era. Activities undertaken were grouped under two intellectual outputs, IO1 and IO2. Under output O1 were achieved: Virtual and open cross-study curricula for digital environment of T&L systems were developed. For that the following activities were implemented: 1) Definition and description of measurable competences for digital support; 2) Development of quality criteria and assessment and feedback principles for e-supported T&L education; 3) Development of methodological approach for cross-institutional study and virtual teamwork using e-learning materials based on the Carpe Diem learning design process; 4) Development of the concept for piloting the simulators of digitally supported logistics systems; 5) Adaptation of selected e-learning and video study materials prepared by partners for virtual teamwork and their piloting in the cross-institutional study process. Under output O2 ""Simulation tool based on games strategy (TRELOGIC) for training and e-learning of T&L"", a software package was designed that can be used in the training process. To achieve the planned results for output IO2, the following activities were implemented and reported on: 1. Development of an algorithm for the TRELOGIC application for Transport and Logistics (T&L); 2. Development of content and set of information materials; 3. Preparation of essential background material for TRELOGIC application; 4. Development of pilot software for the TRELOGIC system; 5. Development of detailed TRELOGIC Manual in English; 6. Development of TRELOGIC Manuals in the local languages of partners; 7. Development of video demo of TRELOGIC application; 8. Testing of TRELOGIC application during piloting sessions. The TRELOGIC system consists elements of network technologies, databases, and strategic role games based on simulation modelling. The TRELOGIC game-based learning system is used to increase the readiness of students and SME professionals to work in the single European T&L market.The project achieved the desired impact at the local level: 1. More harmonized and attractive T&L education and training programs, in line with the needs and expectations of individuals as well as industry demands; 2. more modern, dynamic, committed, and professional environment inside project partner institutions; 3. Improved skill levels and employability through online self-assessment.The project achieved the desired impact at the regional and national level: 1. Increased workforce mobility and engagement in lifelong learning, helping students to better plan their careers and enhance their employability potential. 2. Facilitation of the assessment by educators of the compatibility of educational systems and sectors across national borders. The project achieved the desired long-term impact at the European and/or international level: 1. Promotion of the sharing, storing, findability, and interoperability of educational resources. 2. Promotion of the use of learning outcomes based on unified T&L competence when describing and defining qualifications, parts of qualifications and curricula, in support of teaching, learning, and assessment."

Most professionals involved in the design and building construction sector state, that the age of sustainable high-rise timber buildings has started. They agree that timber is an ideal material when grown in sustainably managed forests. It is being used more and more extensively in the building and construction industry. This movement regarding the construction of high-rise timber buildings is transnational and is being implemented in the EU and worldwide, for example in Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the USA. However, education in high-rise timber construction is still very limited, especially in Europe. Most HEIs in the EU, that have technical degrees in design, construction and materials for high-rise buildings have curricular implementing the studies of concrete and steel, being prefabricated or manufactured on site. Normally, education in construction from timber focuses on 1 to 2 storey timber buildings (one family houses, etc.). However, architects and engineering companies are already working on sustainable high-rise timber buildings of up to 16 stories high. Thus, there is an urgent need to educate students with innovative applied skills needed in this area at an undergraduate degree level.The wider objective of this project was to develop a trans-disciplinary and transnational course/ elective element in the EU HEIs in the design, construction and management of sustainable high-rise timber buildings in order to enhance the quality and relevance of students’ knowledge and skills for future labour market needs. The project was implemented by five higher education institutions from Denmark, United Kingdom, Lithuania, Portugal, Estonia and Lithuanian Study and Consulting Center together with Estonian Woodhouse Association.The specific objectives of the project were:1) To strategically research at which level the sustainable design, construction and management of high-rise timber buildings are to be planned and implemented in the partner countries.2) To educate all participants (students, teachers, entrepreneurs) in the field of the sustainability and the emerging global problems. 3) To develop and implement the new strategic trans-disciplinary module/elective element, which meets the needs of the HEIs and market representatives, fulfils the future challenges of sustainable design and construction of high-rise timber buildings.4) To improve competencies of students and teachers in problem solving and team work, innovative thinking, motivation, awareness of cross-professional project input and project management by using project-based learning approach.5) To ensure open awareness of the project results to local, national, EU level and international target groups.Working in international in trans-disciplinary groups, participants increased their knowledge, motivation and obtained a wider view of today’s rapidly growing environmental problems, faced in our planet, for example green-house gas emissions, carbon and ecological foot printing, as a background to explain why the use of sustainable timber in high-rise buildings and construction is important for the future world-wide construction industry.35 teachers from five universities have enhanced competences on innovative module development and teaching strategies, by taking part in intensive trainings, workshops, development of intellectual outputs. They have learnt about the most challenging issues in design, construction and management of sustainable high-rise timber buildings and are using their knowledge and skills in daily education and research activities.The new module was jointly developed by academic staff and business enterprises. The module was integrated into the existing study programmes, thus undergraduate students have direct access to outcomes of the project. 82 students participated in intensive short-time mobility periods and worked together on real projects. Students gained innovative knowledge on HiTimber issues, moreover, by project-based learning they improved their skills in critical thinking, problem solving, group working, negotiation, reaching consensus, taking responsibility for their own learning and social participation. Thus, HEIs have opportunity to educate new professionals, who will be able to apply their knowledge and contribute to the design, construction and management of high-rise timber buildings in labour market. Stakeholders, e.g. public authorities, professional associations, building entrepreneurial associations and private companies were in-depth involved in the process of definition of the new professional profile, development of the new module and teaching materials.By sharing innovative knowledge to all target groups the HiTimber project contributed to the extension of knowledge in the HEIs and building industry by disseminating idea of sustainable buildings constructed in timber to give an overall European context in the sustainable and construction sector.
