Economic and social efficiency of joint inter-university programs

Abstract

This article examines the development of higher education programs, with a particular focus on the structure, design, and implementation of joint inter-university initiatives. It addresses key issues concerning the education of future specialists in engineering and technical fields, emphasizing the essential skills, knowledge, and competencies required for success in an ever-evolving job market. The article argues that joint programs are crucial from both social and economic perspectives, as they enhance educational access, foster innovation, and contribute to the creation of a more adaptable and skilled workforce. Additionally, the analysis explores the challenges and opportunities associated with interinstitutional collaborations, such as curriculum alignment, resource sharing, and quality assurance. By doing so, it aims to offer insights into the strategic value and impact of joint inter-university programs in engineering education and their broader implications.
