Tuning higher education harmonisation in Europe
Résumé
New forms of practice must be devised to prepare students to compete in an open market where information and communication technologies are key features. The association of teachers and researchers in wide networks where exchange of practices and information can take place is an essential step towards better teaching praxis and to curricula harmonisation. The THEIERE (Thematic Harmonisation in Electrical and Information EngineeRing in Europe) Thematic Network began in 2000 as the result of converging interests between the EAEEIE (European Association for Education in Electrical and Information Engineering), and the European Commission, through DG “Education and Culture”. The main objective is the co-operation between the partner institutions in order to contribute to the harmonisation of curricula at an European level, with the contribution of 87 European universities and some observers: Bogazici University in Istanbul (Turkey), University of Mariupol (Ukraine), and University Abdelmalek Saadi from Tangiers (Morocco). We will describe the objective and expected results of the last year of activity obtained as an extension of the project entitled THEIERE-DISS
