Abstract
This master project aims to design a curriculum that meets the demands of Aarhus School of Marine and Technical Engineering for practice-oriented education and improved digitalization, as well as the students' demands for an earlier placement of the 'Process and Automation' module within the semester and a more practical approach to the instructions. This project presents a protype for a laboratory model and examples of supportive educational materials. The design parameters were determined based on an analysis of literature from the World Economic Forum, a development collaboration between Danish professional colleges supported by the LEGO Foundation, and the Norwegian author Olga O. Dysthe, who contributed with theories on educational practice. The project contains clearly defined learning objectives, a timely case, innovative educational materials, and a functioning prototype, all of which consider the needs of both students and industry. The results confirm that a customized and practice-near approach can enhance students’ engagement and learning outcomes. Furthermore, the project has highlighted the importance of anchoring educational strategies in both local and broader industrial needs, demonstrating how a theoretical foundation can be translated into practical application in teaching contexts.
