Education to Industry link the success model Shahla Khudiyeva Elshan Rzayev Jabbar Bayramov Information Resource Complex & Society of Petroleum Engineers 1 Outline Introduction Concept Experience Conclusions Information Resource Complex & Society of Petroleum Engineers 2 Introduction Academy of Sciences Industry Higher educational institutions quality young scientists Information Resource Complex & Society of Petroleum Engineers quality educated workforce 3 Introduction Key Quality Indicators quality graduates fundamental and World class researches Information Resource Complex & Society of Petroleum Engineers International publications by MSc and PhD students Genius people Who is our Mirzajanzade today? 4 The Concept Education Industry - attractive salary - interactive lectures - recruitment system - lab research WIN-WIN Scholarships - development program - transparent system Summer internships - real data projects Seminars and technology days - trainings - challenging jobs - credit system - up-to-date literature Professional societies - active mentorship - overseas experience - softwares Information Resource Complex & Society of Petroleum Engineers - career opportunities 5 Experience MIT world changing discoveries MIT - World Class Example • Over 700 companies sponsor research and joint studies • Achieving the first chemical synthesis of penicillin and vitamin A • $ 681 million spent in 2012 for research • Developing a new form of wireless power transmission • Research results drove the progress in the industry and world-changing advancements! • Discovering evidence of water ice and organic material on Mercury Information Resource Complex & Society of Petroleum Engineers 6 Experience Young Talents Program 2007-2013 STAGE 1 - selection STAGE 2 - studies STAGE 3 - research STAGE 4 - graduation Logic/Ability tests Weekly lectures Defining the interest area Writing the paper Very basic English Library Research plan Applying for the conferences Face-to-face interview Presentation skills Paper reading - access Presenting at the conference 1st and 2nd year Fundamental subjects Real Data projects Publishing results Multiple disciplines Regular exams Internships & Conferences Apply for the World Market Information Resource Complex & Society of Petroleum Engineers 7 Experience – Results Norwegian University of Science and Technology Imperial College University of Leeds University of Houston Stanford University Texas A&M University Colorado School of Mines University of Texas at Austin University of Wyoming University of Tulsa University of Alaska Fairbanks • • Over 47 students were admitted with full funding to 13 top Universities in the World Hundreds of students were affected by the Program and settled with the highly paid job both inside and outside of Azerbaijan Institute of French Petroleum Delft University Middle East Technical University First internationally recognized scientific paper was published by the Bachelor Science student form Young Talents Program The companies that the Young Talents work for around the Globe include: Exxon, City Bank, BP, Shell, Chevron, HESS, OXY, AERA, Statoil, Total, SOCAR, Halliburton, Weatherford, Schlumberger, and Apache Information Resource Complex & Society of Petroleum Engineers Curtin University of Technology 8 Conclusions Facilitators The LINK a In the education-industry system, one element stimulates another. The link between them makes the stimulation efficient. The link works well in the top Universities in the World d Governmental control Industry b Industry has to make efforts to support the higher education through fundng high quality research labs and research studies e Young Talents Program Experiment c A consistent program was set up to mimic the “mini” Education-to-Industry Link. The program turned out to be successful proved by the admissions and funding into the top class Universities and research publications Information Resource Complex & Society of Petroleum Engineers In order for the link to work, facilitators both from the industry and educational system must be assigned to progress the mutual collaboration Control and a very close monitoring from the governmental institutions and specifically the ministry of education must be performed to assure the quality of the LINK Risk f Talented and highly educated workforce is leaking into the Western countries 9 References Altbach, P, Liz Reisberg and Laura E.
