TRAINING ENGINEERS ON THE BASIS OF DUAL EDUCATION THROUGH THE COOPERATION OF KARSHI STATE TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY AND MUBORAK THERMAL POWER CENTER ENTERPRISE
Keywords:
dual education, engineering education, energy sector, sector–enterprise–university modelAbstract
The increasing demand for highly qualified engineers requires innovative educational approaches that combine academic knowledge with practical industrial training. This study examines the implementation of a sector enterprise–university model of dual education in Uzbekistan, aimed at enhancing engineering education in the energy field. The approach integrates specialized modules such as thermodynamics, heat engineering, and renewable energy systems designed jointly by university faculty and industry experts to ensure alignment with real production needs. The research methodology included curriculum adaptation, collaborative teaching, and structured student training at industrial enterprises. Evaluation was conducted through theoretical assessments, practical assignments, and stakeholder feedback. The findings demonstrate that dual education significantly improves students’ professional competence, problem-solving abilities, and labor market readiness. Furthermore, it strengthens collaboration between higher education institutions and enterprises, ensuring that graduates’ qualifications meet industry expectations. This study highlights dual education as an effective mechanism for bridging the gap between academic training and industrial practice, contributing to workforce development and innovation in engineering education.
