Revitalizing Engineering Education in Uzbekistan

Engineering education in Uzbekistan requires global recognition to improve rankings and attract international students. Through the Central Asia University Partnerships Program (UniCEN), administered by American Councils for International Education and funded by the U.S. State Department through the U.S. Embassy in Tashkent, Tashkent University of Information Technologies (TUIT) and Kent State University are collaboratively exploring ways to bring computer engineering education in Uzbekistan in line with industry needs and best international standards.

Throughout the project period, the partners met online and exchanged perspectives on the modernization of engineering curriculum and teaching. Kent State University lent its expertise to TUIT’s Computer Science department towards receiving ABET Accreditation, the gold standard to meet quality for professional preparation of graduates in STEM fields.

Mindful of computer engineering curriculum that reflects international best practices and actual industry needs, Kent State University faculty and administrators prepared and conducted a series of webinars to help advance TUIT’s course design, curriculum mapping, learning outcomes, assessment metrics, and strategic planning. The total of 26 TUIT faculty and administrators completed the teaching methodology webinars.

As a result of the collaboration and support by Kent State University faculty, TUIT faculty are revising curricula to include learning outcomes and new teaching and assessment methods for implementation in the 2021-2022 academic year.

Building the Reputation of Agricultural Research in Uzbekistan
In a modern competitive world, the role of research in academic institutions is critical for sustainability and development. The quality of research work directly translates to the quality of teaching and learning in the classroom. Through the Central Asia University Partnerships Program (UniCEN), administered by American Councils for International Education and funded by the U.S. State Department through the U.S. Embassy in Tashkent, Iowa State University and the Bukhara Branch of Tashkent Institute of Irrigation and Agricultural Mechanization Engineers (TIIAME) developed and implement a professional development program for Uzbekistan faculty with an emphasis on academic writing and publishing.
In October-December 2020, Iowa State University and TIIAME Bukhara organized three professional training webinars for faculty members of four Uzbek universities: TIIAME Bukhara, Tashkent State Technical University, Tashkent State Agrarian University, and Karshi Engineering and Economics Institute. A total of 60 Uzbekistan faculty and students participated in webinars that addressed publishing in peer-reviewed international journals, as well as introduced programs at Iowa State University in machinery systems and agricultural and biosystems engineering graduate programs.
In spring 2021, Iowa State faculty delivered an additional program of virtual seminars for TIIAME Bukhara faculty. Participants self-enrolled to the course via Canvas Teacher and watched videos corresponding to the course content at their own pace. The modules comprised of video recordings, supplementary materials, and assignments aimed to improve participants’ practical skills in designing research projects, writing and publishing in academic journals, and applying for research grants. Each module also included an assignment designed to assess the application of concepts and ability to develop and implement a research project. Participants selected one of four projects to work on during the program: a journal submission, a grant proposal, a conference submission, or a research proposal. Most assignments involved writing a section of their project after watching related videos.
Iowa State University professors continue to engage with Uzbekistan faculty members to discuss their research projects. These networks could produce joint research publications, support visiting fellowships, and provide access to library resources.
