  • International Cooperation in Education
    ARISTOTLE UNIVERSITY THESSALONIKI│SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION IN EDUCATION THESSALONIKI│JUNE 2009 Preface ristotle University’s School of Engineering has always put emphasis on international cooperation. This led to numerous fruitful collaborations and links with reputed Universities and AResearch Centers all over the world, with obvious benefits for the School’s personnel and students. Cooperation in education opened new paths regarding postgraduate studies of our students in famous European and North American Institutes of Technology. Furthermore, opportunities arose for attracting distinguished scientists to Thessaloniki to teach in our School’s postgraduate courses or to give lectures in seminars. By participating at international consortia, colleagues were able to widen their scientific horizon entering new, mostly interdisciplinary, fields of research. At the same time, they were given the chance to finance their research activities by ensuring necessary funds, the latter being essential in view of the insufficient resources provided to our School by the Greek government. The present brochure contains an overview on the international cooperation of Aristotle University’s School of Engineering, the main emphasis being on education. An important aspect is the bundle of options that our students have for participating at exchange programmes with other Technical Universities. Moreover, the role of our School in relation to major international networks is presented. The outcome of all these activities over the years makes us optimistic regarding the impression that our international partners have on the capabilities of our students and the level of the educational and research work conducted in our School. This is of particular importance in the present situation which is considered to be critical for the higher education system in Greece.

    Ninth LACCEI Latin American and Caribbean Conference (LACCEI’2011), Engineering for a Smart Planet, Innovation, Information Technology and Computational Tools for Sustainable Development, August 3-5, 2011, Medellín, Colombia. Propuesta para un programa de intercambio de alumnos de escuelas de ingeniería en países de Latinoamérica y el Caribe Yilsy M, Núñez Guerrero Universidad Nacional Experimental de Guayana (UNEG) Carlos Rodríguez Monroy Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM) RESUMEN La evolución de la sociedad industrial hacia la sociedad del conocimiento ha proporcionado el escenario idóneo para la evolución en la oferta de educación superior la cual ha sufrido severos cambios en el último cuarto de siglo. Algunos de estos hechos están marcando las nuevas tendencias, siendo la movilidad e intercambio académico una de ellas. En este artículo se pretende formular una propuesta de un programa de intercambio de alumnos de escuelas de ingeniería en los países de Latinoamérica y el Caribe, tomando como referente el Programa ATHENS desarrollado en Europa con bastante éxito. La propuesta formulada se caracteriza principalmente por ser un programa de movilidad del alumnado que desarrollará cursos intensivos en cortos periodos de tiempo en áreas temáticas diversas en el campo de la ingeniería, con el objetivo de poner al alcance de más estudiantes las ventajas de la movilidad académica para el desarrollo integral de los participantes. Palabras Clave: Movilidad académica, Programas de movilidad de estudiantes, Programa ATHENS, Escuelas de ingeniería. ABSTRACT The evolution of industrial society to a knowledge society has provided the ideal scenario for the evolution of higher education which has undergone severe changes in the last quarter century.
