12-02, 12:00–12:30 (Europe/Berlin), Stage 3 (Lovelace), WiFo

BooST, Boosting Skills by Digitalization and Training have been launched to develop digital tools, integration of platforms and to support the issues long-life learning, building of capacities and German culture. Tools shall be used to enable engineering education in global context. The platform solution aims to connect students, lecturer and institution. While the networking part focusing the process of long life learning and capacity building.


BooST shall support and provide our long-term cooperation with our partners in Indonesia. We
provide with two partners three degree courses and multiple R&D projects. The BooST results are
in order to strengthen our cooperation, to foster the contact to our students and to become more
present, with a high visibility, continuously availability and sustainability. The program can be
separate in 3 major parts.
Tools
Developing of tools means transforming of real engineering processes into digital solution for
presentation and teaching, usable in higher educational background. Simultaneous can those
solution be used to deliver answers on research question which are still open. Aim is to transport
time and cost intensive laboratories and experiments on a very comfortable way to the students.
Platform
Integration of platforms is a wide field of different opportunities. BooST uses platforms to present
lesson material, to enable students for asynchronous learning, to repeat or download information,
to contact each other, to check the learning outcome and much more.
HR aspects
Finally BooST shall provide an integrated solution in order to build capacities but also to promote
long life learning and transport the German relation cross the borders. These goals can be achieved
by developing of digital alumni portal, present or online meetings with aim of presenting German
culture but also opposite culture.
We are looking forward and being confident to use the digitalization to connect the world and
making distances disappear.

Carreer have been started with professional training and couple of years with professional experience. In 2006 start with undergradute study in Engineering at University of Wismar and subsequently postgradute degree course in Operation and Managament of Maritime Systems. With finishing the study starts the academic carreer at Universtiy of Wismar. The responsibilty was focused on development, establishing and consulting of international degree courses prior in Indonesia. These courses are:
* Bachelor Marine Engineering
* Master Marine Engineering
* Bachelor Nautical Sciences/Transport Operations
Additional interests; member of Maritimes Cluster Nordeutschland e.V., Expert group in ship efficiency. Our aim is the decarbonisation of seaborn transport.
