LEADERSHIP IN HIGHER EDUCATION BY DEVELOPMENT OF POLES OF EXCELLENCE IN RESEARCH

The paper presents the possibility to achieve leadership in higher education by development of poles of excellence in research. In this way research results are obtained in a project for excellence that allows the formation of leadership in the field studied, while increasing the educational process and quality by developing skills in the study of complex technological systems. There are present mainly the possibility of introducing on process distributed and decentralized modular structures which use programmable logical automates, thereby offering all the facilities for real time control and additionally the possibility of interactive interfacing with a PC by integrating an open architecture system. A modular structure in open architecture system is developed, based on the SCADA concept of control in complex automations. Economic analyses reveal that in comparison with a centralized structure the presented system with modularized and decentralized structure significantly reduces efforts of conceiving, designing and controlling the technological flux. Finally, it offers a modern solution for developing of new complex automation installations and updating existing ones, in order to gain new skills in the study of complex automation systems, targeting the students in their last years of college, master students and PhD students.
