While advanced technologies are entering schools at all levels, we claim that other skills required to deal with them in the complex modern world should not be neglected in the education system. In this article, a promising approach to interdisciplinary postgraduate education is described. The idea of the »Team project« course is to give the students the opportunity to gain experience in an extensive project where various skills are needed, e.g. teamwork, coordinating work, project management, research, problem solving, public presentations, time management, etc. The course is obligatory and held in the first year of the master study program at the School of Engineering and Management of the University of Nova Gorica. The main advantage of the course is to give the students hands-on experience of work on a project that is very close to reality. Students are forced to gain experience in teamwork and to overcome the uncertainties and obstacles that arise in such projects. Since the launch of the course, several improvements have been made with the aim of improving the performance of the course. Nevertheless, the course remains a challenge for both students and teachers.

The article describes a student capstone design project completed by a team of five students and implemented by a resort and casino in Northeastern Pennsylvania (NEPA). This project was completed within the framework of project-based learning (PBL). Students had the opportunity to apply the knowledge that they learned in the classroom in a real-world application. Students also had the opportunity to work as a team which was supervised by the faculty. The outcome of the project provided valuable experience in creating of grid, a reliable source of energy. The heat generated as a by-product was used for the purpose of heating hot water and a swimming pool as well as space heating for the hotel and casino during the winter. In the summertime the excessive amount of heat was used to dehumidify the air in the hotel and casino. Dehumidifying the air increased the level of comfort in the hotel and casino as well as in the enclosed swimming pools area. The article is focusing on the cost effectiveness of the off-grid heat-and-power solution. The net present value and internal rate of return as well as the payback time were calculated.

Wstęp. Efekty kształcenia na studiach o profilu praktycznym przewidują przygotowanie studentów i absolwentów do wykonywania wszystkich standardowych czynności zawodowych. Równie ważnym elementem tego przygotowania jest świadomość ryzyka i zagrożeń własnego zdrowia osób, które ten zawód wykonują. Stanowi ona podstawę działań profilaktycznych służących ochronie zdrowia określonej grupy profesjonalistów. W kontekście najnowszych normalizacji prawnych zawodu oraz studiów fizjoterapii warto zwrócić uwagę na bezpieczeństwo pracy i ochronę zdrowia przedstawicieli tego zawodu medycznego. Materiał i metody. W niniejszym doniesieniu zaprezentowano sumaryczny wynik studenckiego projektu semestralnego w zakresie definiowania czynników ryzyka w zawodzie fizjoterapeuty. Studenci magisterskich studiów fizjoterapii (n=22) wykorzystali do tego zadania wzór pierwszej strony Karty Charakterystyk Zagrożeń Zawodowych, rekomendowanej przez właściwą agendę Organizacji Narodów Zjednoczonych. Wyniki. Analiza pojedynczych projektów studenckich wskazuje na wysoki poziom świadomości ryzyka zawodowego w takich obszarach jak: niektóre czynniki fizyczne w pracowni fizykoterapii, zagrożenie epidemiologiczne w bezpośrednim kontakcie z pacjentem oraz relacje międzyludzkie w zespołach terapeutycznych. Wnioski. Praktyczne studia fizjoterapii powinny w większym stopniu przygotowywać studentów do bezpiecznej pracy; wzmocnienia wymaga też przygotowanie do pracy w zespołach terapeutycznych.

Introduction. Learning outcomes in academic education with prophylactic profile envisage preparation of students and graduates for all standard professional activities. An equally important element of this preparation is the awareness of the risks and threats to the health of people who perform this profession. It is the basis of preventive measures protecting the health of a specific group of professionals. In the context of the latest legal normalization of the profession and course of studies in the field of physiotherapy, it is worth paying attention to the occupational safety and health protection of the representatives of this medical profession. Material and methods. This report presents the total result of a one-semester-long student project in the area of defining risk factors in the physiotherapists’ profession. Students of master’s physiotherapy courses (n=22) used the model of the first page of the Occupational Hazard Card for this task, recommended by the relevant United Nations agency. Results. Analysis of individual student projects indicates a high level of occupational risk awareness in such areas as: some physical factors in the physiotherapeutic surgery, epidemiological threat in direct contact with the patient and interpersonal relationships in therapeutic teams. Conclusions. Practical physiotherapy studies should prepare students for performing work safely to a greater extent; preparation for work in therapeutic teams should be enhanced as well.
