Objective
Engineering education in Hungary has, until recently, comprised two strands: one for training engineers to degree level, the other for training workers in practical skills. With increasingly rapid technological change, there is a need for an intermediate level of technicians with managerial and technical skills.
This project aims to meet this need through the development of a new system of engineering education. This will be organised in levels, with courses leading to transnationally recognised qualifications and with possible progression from one level to another. A survey of partner institutions curricula, teaching materials, validation and quality control procedures will enable a common framework of qualifications to be developed and promote a best practice approach to curriculum design. The partners will analyse the trends in technological developments in order to identify training needs and to design appropriate training methods and materials. Methodology for forecasting training and retraining needs will also be developed. Student exchanges between partner institutions will be a feature of the new system, in line with demands for increased transparency of qualifications.
Results of the project will be in report form and be disseminated at a final partners' meeting. The principal conclusions and recommendations will be disseminated via the internet.
Impact
The project will enhance engineering education, promote training programmes relevant to training needs and encourage mobility within the sector across Europe.
