Teaching of Socially Oriented Disciplines Being Strengthened at Baku Engineering University

Baku Engineering University (BEU) is continuously improving its curricula in line with the demands of the modern labor market, and within this framework is expanding the integration of socially oriented disciplines into engineering and information technology programs. This approach, implemented at the university, serves to equip students not only with technical knowledge, but also with skills in analytical thinking, social responsibility, and ethical conduct.

Socially oriented disciplines taught across various programs at BEU enable a deeper understanding of the interaction between technology and society in the modern era. A number of courses in this direction are being successfully delivered, particularly within the Cybersecurity, Information Technologies, and Industrial Engineering programs.

The main socially oriented disciplines taught at the university are as follows:

• Analysis of Social Networks

• Social Research Methods

• Social Network Analysis and Security

• Social Engineering and Human Factor Management

These disciplines provide students with knowledge and skills in areas such as the analysis of the structure and dynamics of social networks, conducting social research, the role of the human factor in cybersecurity, as well as the management of social systems.

As a result of studying these disciplines, BEU students do not limit themselves to acquiring technical knowledge alone - they also learn to analyze social processes, take the human factor into account, and apply a comprehensive approach to real-world problems. This makes a significant contribution to enhancing the competitiveness of graduates in the labor market.

The expansion of socially oriented disciplines at BEU further confirms that the university is developing in accordance with international educational trends and places particular emphasis on training innovative, socially beneficial professionals.
