Project Objectives

Develop and identify guides and tools for strengthen the visual literacy of engineers across participating countries and further afield by introducing innovative visual literacy training into our vocational teaching and provision.

• Catalogue and communicate the specific visual competences that most contribute to engineers’ creativity and productivity by producing the VLEE Competence Framework – so that stakeholders and VET organizations are motivated to introduce this new element of teaching.

• Carry out rigorous testing to determine the most relevant, useful and easy-to-use digital graphic, image and video technology and share this knowledge with the VET sector so that engineering
• teachers have the knowledge, skills and resources to improve teaching and learning using visual content.

• Produce a visual literacy for engineering VET training course to enable engineers to develop their visual competences in a very practical manner – VLEE online course.
