Study Courses Digitalisation at RTU On the Basis of HPC Platform and Combined Learning Methodology

The benefits of study program digitalisation are very promising in engineering sector, and they are coming into all segments of life not avoiding the segment of education especially in engineering area. Therefore Riga Technical University is intensively improving its study courses introducing and modifying study activities realised by means of various interactive tools. One of the ways to digitalise the courses is participation in project 2.3.1.1.i.0/1/22/I/CFLA/003 “Mastering of High Level Digital Skills In Latvia In the Field of High Performance Computing” (“Augsta līmeņa digitālo prasmju apguve Latvijā augstas veiktspējas skaitļošanas tehnoloģiju jomā”). This project is realised by three largest universities of Latvija – Riga Technical University, Riga Stradiņš University and Latvian University. It initialises the modification of 12 study courses for the further combined learning methodology on the basis of 8 themes modules: 1) scientific programming and operational systems, 2) computer design, 3D modelling and design, 3) data analysis, machine learning and data science, 4) parallel programming, 5) modelling and simulation, 6) modern computing systems and methods 7) engineering design of complex physical systems and simulation of mechanic, aerodynamic, electrodynamic properties and 8) artificial intelligence including medicine diagnostics based on pictures.
