The 5th edition of the Teaching Innovation Competition has been decided! | Faculty of Electrical and Control Engineering at the Gdańsk University of Technology

The aim of the competition is to develop and implement innovative teaching solutions that will enrich the university's teaching achievements and contribute to its further development (such as: new elements related to the effectiveness of the teaching process, flexible education paths, experimental and interdisciplinary classes, trial implementations and pilot applications of new methods and forms of learning within the educational offer of Gdańsk Tech).

Bartosz Puchalski, PhD Eng. received PLN 20,000.00 in funding for a project entitled ‘Signal processing and modelling of dynamic systems – combining traditional methods with AI’. 
The main objective of the project is to introduce educational innovation into the classroom by enriching it with an interdisciplinary approach that combines classical methods with modern AI solutions. As part of the project, students will use the Raspberry Pi 5 platform and the AI HAT+ overlay, which will enable them to work directly with the equipment and implement AI algorithms in reality.
Implementation period: November 1, 2025 - October 31, 2026.

Jarosław Tarnawski, PhD Eng.received funding in the amount of PLN 19,999.10 for the implementation of a project entitled ‘Methodology for the development, testing and documentation of software for programmable controllers using industrial standards, modern rapid prototyping tools and machine verification’.
The innovations introduced will result in a higher level of integration of teaching with industrial standards and requirements, coordinated with the largest PLC manufacturer, Siemens. The two main software development environments, MATLAB (university side) and TIA Portal (industry side), will be combined using the PLC Coder code conversion tool.
Implementation period: October 1, 2025 – September 30, 2026.
