ECDEAST: EURACE Standards As A Framework for Engineering Curriculum Design

Abstract

 

Financed by the TEMPUS grant the ECDEAST project is aimed to ensure that Russian universities have advanced curricula for programs in line with new development in the chosen engineering areas and according to the Bologna Process (EQF) and European standards for the quality of engineering education (EUR-ACE). The EUR-ACE Framework standards define program outcomes for engineering degree programs. The alignment of EQF & EUR-ACE Standards with Russian educational standards requirements to structure of programs and graduates’ competencies is one of the challenging tasks for Russian universities and the project partners as well. A methodology for engineering curriculum design based on the European standards was elaborated and piloted for three master programs. The paper reviews the project state-of-art and outputs.
