Abstract
Contemporary engineering education is an important component in the training of highly qualified specialists who are capable of responding to the challenges of a globalised world and technological progress. At the same time, project-based grant activities are a key tool for ensuring innovation, accessibility and quality in education, particularly in engineering. An analytical review based on the study of foreign experience shows that grants not only provide financial support for the implementation of educational initiatives, but also ensure the convergence of pedagogical methods and technologies, such as project-based learning (PBL), and also facilitate the adaptation of the latest curricula to international standards and the needs of the global labour market. The review focuses on the results of analytical research on the scientific achievements of the last decade to study the evolution of project-based grants in engineering education in the context of studying foreign experience. Various aspects of the impact of grants on the development of engineering education and pedagogy in the context of digitalisation and digital transformation of the educational and scientific space are considered, in particular on stimulating the choice of Stem-specialities through needs-based grant assistance, which reduces financial barriers for higher education applicants; the integration of project-based learning through initiatives such as CDIO, which combine theory with practice and help prepare engineers for real professional challenges; the organisation of international cooperation and exchange of experience, which are implemented through grant programmes such as Fulbright and Horizon Europe, providing access to advanced knowledge and technologies. Sources describing the Horizon Europe programme, one of the European Union's most ambitious initiatives aimed at supporting research and innovation in various areas of life and activity, were studied. It has been found that this grant system enables the introduction of advanced technologies and teaching methods, which is particularly relevant for engineering education or STEM training of specialists. The review also highlights scientific and practical achievements related to European Union programmes such as Erasmus+ and Digital Europe and other similar projects, and extrapolates their contribution to the innovation of engineering education and pedagogy in Ukraine. Of particular interest are the analytical insights into studies that discuss the potential of project and grant-based evolution for the development of digital skills, mobility, and innovative teaching methods. Thus, the review based on the analysis of scientific works, reports, manuals, literature reviews and methodological developments contributes to the formation of a comprehensive understanding of the role of project and grant activities in the field of engineering pedagogy. The results of this analysis reveal the topic of understanding grants in the foreign educational environment, their role in stimulating digital transformation in engineering education and pedagogy, and the significance of the positive impact of project activities on the professional development of subjects in the educational and scientific space, including higher education seekers. The review materials are structured into three sections: ‘Analysis of EU and USA grants’, ‘Project-Based Training for Future Specialists’, and ‘Educational Aspects of Project Management’.
