    The Impact of the Bologna Declaration on Engineering Education in Europe

    The Impact of the Bologna Declaration on Engineering Education in Europe - the Result of a Survey Among SEFI National Representatives and Other Members (As of June 15, 2004) 1. Has the system of Engineering Education in your country changed as a consequence of the Declaration or are such reforms being planned? In particular, has it been decided to introduce a two-cycle system (a "Bachelor/Master system") in Engineering? Austria The University Act 2002 opened the possibility to introduce Bachelor/Master for existing programmes. New curricula have to introduce Ba/Ma. Belgium Yes Dutchspeaking Belgium Yes, the Ministry of Education has introduced a new law in March 2004. Frenchspeaking Czech republic Yes, by decision of the Ministry of Education. Only a few exceptions are tolerated. Denmark Yes the Ministry of Education is changing the system – though with a lot of problems and double solutions between the old and the new system In the past we had a 3½-4½ year program and a 5 year program. Now we do have a 3½-4½ year program (diplomingeniør = professionsbachelor ) and a 3 +2 program (bachelor and master (civilingeniør)) Estonia Yes. Though, in Civil Engineering and Architecture, there are integrated 5-year programmes; the graduates get either Master degree or a Diploma that is officially recognised as a Master level document. Finland Reforms are under way. From autumn 2005 there will be in all university and "Fachhochschule" systems a two-tier system. Of course some areas have exceptions like medical faculty. France Formally, no. As a consequence of the Declaration a higher education reform (decrees published in April 2002) has changed the French University scheme of studies with the introduction of the “LMD” structure (Licence-Master-Doctorat, corresponding to 3-5-8 years of study).

  • Higher Education for Science and Engineering

    Higher Education for Science and Engineering

    Appendix C. — Science and Engineering Graduate Study and Credentials in Other Nations The U.S. system of university-based graduate education, combining research and training, is admired throughout the world for the quality of researchers it produces. However, it is not the only model for training and certification of researchers. Other nations take different approaches to training graduate-level scientists and engineers for academic and industry research and development (R&D), reflecting major social, administrative, legislative, and economic differences in university systems, in where and how R&D is conducted and funded, and where scientists and engineers are employed in . that country.1 Higher education in other countries generally is more science- and engineering-intensive, particularly in Japan, Soviet Union, and West Germany. There is no “best” model for graduate education. The U.S. university system is decentralized, with a large high-quality private sector; many other nations have much more centralized systems. Most developed countries have reformed university education in the past decade, often modeling U.S. successes. These reforms have been driven and accompanied by a move to mass higher education, problems of overexpansion in the face of declining young populations, worries about quality, and retrenching in tight budgets. Japan. 2 Although Japan awards more science and engineering doctorates on a per capita basis than does the United States, far fewer of these are obtained through formal university graduate studies. Students follow two paths to the doctorate. Students may earn a “course doctorate” (katei hakushi) in one of the major universities, similar to the United States, with courses, 5 years or so of research, and an oral defense of the dissertation.
