Plan Context, aim Present state of the report Keywords and percentages => a portal (website presenting EIE for students) Present state of the report (per country) Other points Way to disseminate (4th year of THEIERE?)

Aim Publishing a report, "Electrical and Information Engineering in Europe, an overview" 1st part –State of the art: what is EIE? Its borders? –Available institutions, curricula, diploma, accreditation procedures... 2nd part –implementation of 358, state of the reflections and implementation within the various European countries –proposition of common curricula, of a guideline for common curricula ?

Present state of the report (1/6) 1. Introduction Context Methodology References4 2. Electrical and Information Engine The situation in Anglo-saxon countr The situation throughout Eur Conclusion7 3. Actual implementation of the scheme in Europe (overview with the partners of THEIERE and EAEEIE)8 On the way everybody: some info missing HY: need validation and update by partners

WHAT GOING ON FOR THE European timetable for the implementation of the two-tier system (Bachelor- Master) Lappeenranta, 8th March 2003  Since a long time Some Countries have a two-tier system. (Some of them have done it to allow international students coming): UK, Poland, Slovakia, Estonia, Lithuania, etc …  Some governments will impose by law the two-tier system with respect of the Bologna process: Italy, Finland, Netherlands, France, Belgium (Flanders) etc …  But other countries leave universities to decide for themselves: Poland, Austria, Slovakia, Portugal etc …  Some Governments have not discussed any change on their own system (yet) with respect to the Bologna declaration: UK, Sweden, Spain, etc …

Main remarks Lappeenranta, 8th March 2003 First a two-tier system is not only a 3-5 scheme it could be a 4-1 or 4-2. This could lead to unbalanced equivalencies. but sure it is not a 5 years integrated course (one tier system). Secondly, some Governments have imposed by law the implantation of the Supplement Diplomat (Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Latvia): The SD will allow and facilitate an evaluation of the student curricula.

web site (portal), presenting EIE in Europe – kind of degrees per country – links with existing servers – database – research engine (keywords and percentages) – existing tools? – model of 358 curricula An engineering student (Carolina) in training period, from Vigo, in Nancy => we will need the participation of everybody...

Keywords and percentages Should we define a glossary of keywords ? Global amount of percentage => 100 % including EIE, other skills, other sc.-tech. domains

Other points: Works to achieve Is it possible to make some propositions for the implementation of 358 in EIE in Europe ? Try to find some "common" curricula Propose a scheme for some bachelors (3 years) in our specialities (computer, electronics, automatic control…) Propose a scheme for some masters (5 years) in our speciality What is the interest to keep some curricula/diploma outside the 358 scheme? Follow the reflection done during INEIT-MUCON ("the minimum as an engineer has to know") –emerging disciplines –new pedagogy –indispensable fundamentals –behavioural skills –evaluation methods Helpful for colleagues who wants to organise new studies with a European view...
