- EIE-Surveyor : Reference Point for Electrical and Information Engineering in Europe
- Type of project : ERASMUS thematic networks
- Partners: 110 European partners. Coordination Université Henri Poincaré Nancy 1 (JM Thiriet)
- Duration: 2005-2008
- Objectives:
- Reflection on generic competences and subject-specific competences in Electrical and Information Engineering (EIE)
- Implementation of quality assessment methodologies on some educational resources available in EIE
- Reflection
and proposition of a methodology for accreditation, in order to enhance
comparability and common certification procedures
- Proposition
of a census of the existing curricula in EIE in Europe, the
multinational degrees, and the situation of the implementation of the
Bologna-process in EIE, at the bachelor, master and PhD levels
Results of the
project are available, as three books which are published and sent to many target
groups. The results of the project can also be downloaded http://www.eie-surveyor.org/cd/.
- (Under the co-ordination
of A.E. Ward) - "The alignment of Generic, Specific and
Language Skills within the Electrical and Information Engineering discipline",
Ed. EAEEIE, Nancy-Grenoble, September 2008, 188 pages, (ISBN
2-9516740-2-3).
In this book is
proposed a list of competences in EIE, implementing the European TUNING [1] [2]
[3] transversal approach; this aspect is very important when considering
accreditation and recognition at the European level. The value of the Tuning
Methodology and of the analyses carried out has been demonstrated by this
project task and the specific findings point clearly to areas where more work
can be undertaken.
- (Under the co-ordination
of M.J. Martins & J.M. Thiriet) - "Overview of the Bologna Process -
Implementation in Europe in Electrical
and Information Engineering", Ed. EAEEIE, Nancy-Grenoble, September
2008, 538 pages, (ISBN - 2-9516740-3-1).
This book proposes
two reference papers on the implementation of the Bologna process at the bachelor and master
and at the doctoral level. A study on the mobility in EIE is also proposed.
The second part of
the book is constituted of a presentation of the situation of the
implementation of the Bologna process in EIE in Europe in each country, with
updated data, compared to the previous version of the book, published in 2003 [4].

of D. Pasquet and D. Deniz) - "Quality and Accreditation in Europe: implication in Electrical and Information
Engineering", Ed. EAEEIE, Nancy-Grenoble, September 2008, 79
pages, (ISBN - 2-9516740-4-X).
The
book consists of two parts. The first part is dedicated to the Quality
Assessment of Resources in EIE Available through the Internet. The
second part concerns an analysis of the existing accreditation
procedures, and proposition of a methodology..
