High Impact University (University of Western Australia) 2010 *Non-academic rankings INTRODUCTION International university rankings are a comparatively recent phenomenon, with the first such exercise emerging in 2003. Rankings of international business schools, such as those published in the Financial Times or Business Week, have been with us for some time. However, the notion of comparing universities comprehensively on an international scale first emerged from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, with its Academic Ranking of World Universities in 2003, and from QS, with the THE-QS World University Rankings in 2004. Domestic rankings have been part of the higher education landscape for many years, with US News & World Report’s ‗America‘s Best Colleges‘ report being one of the first, emerging in 1983. However, that very landscape is being transformed by the onward march of globalisation, with international student mobility serving as a key indicator of change. The 2010 edition of the OECD‘s Education at a Glance estimates that there are 3.3 million students studying outside of their home country - a rise of more than 10% from 2009. According to the Chinese Ministry of Education, in 1950 there were just 20 international students studying in China, all from the Soviet Union; in 2009 this had grown to 240,000, representing 190 countries. The world has changed and with this change has emerged an increasing desire for comparative information - not only from prospective students and their parents, but also from universities themselves, governments, employers, investors and other stakeholders. Interest in rankings continues to grow. After Shanghai, QS and Webometrics emerged in 2004, the Higher Education Evaluation and Accreditation Council of Taiwan joined the mix in 2007 and Times Higher Education has published a new evaluation in 2010. Along the way a variety of less well-known evaluations have emerged, such as the SCImago and Leiden exercises, based on publication and citation data; Mines ParisTech, a French Engineering School, has run an exercise counting CEOs of Fortune 500 companies; an NGO in Russia has released a Global Universities Ranking; and some faculty members from the University of Western Australia have taken a different approach to evaluating research impact. In this briefing pack we have attempted to draw together as much information on results and methodologies from as many of these sources as would allow us to reproduce their material. Our intention is to provide you with a valuable reference tool, reflecting the current reality of university rankings. Ben Sowter Head of Division, QSIU October 2010 Rankings Overview US News & World Report (Established 1985) http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges Editorial Offices: 1050 Thomas Jefferson Street NW Washington, DC 20007 202-955-2000 *Why does U.S. News rank colleges and universities? It's a controversial question with a simple answer: We do it to help you make one of the most important decisions of your life. Your investment in a college education could profoundly affect your career opportunities, financial well-being, and quality of life. As in the past, U.S. News recommends that readers think of the rankings as one tool for selecting a college. We recognize that prospective students must consider their academic and professional goals, financial resources, scholastic record, and special needs when choosing a school. And we recommend that students gather information on colleges in a number of ways—by talking to parents, high school guidance counselors, and other advisers; from college catalogs, view books, and websites; and from campus visits to form firsthand impressions. *Text taken verbatim from http://www.usnews.com/articles/education/best-colleges/2010/08/17/why-us-news-ranks-colleges-and- universities.html CHE UniversityRanking (Established 1998) CHE Centre for Higher Education Development Phone: +49 5241 97 61 0 Fax: +49 5241 97 61 40 E-Mail: [email protected] http://www.che-ranking.de *The CHE UniversityRanking, first published 1998, is the most comprehensive and detailed ranking of German higher education institutions. It includes 35 subjects and therefore serves more than three-quarters of all first-year higher education students. In addition to facts about study programmes, teaching, equipment, and research, the ranking also includes the assessments of 250,000 students on the study conditions at their HEI as well as an evaluation of the reputation of the departments by professors of the individual subjects. Since its launch, the CHE UniversityRanking has always provided fair, informative and qualified information for both the primary target group of first-year students, existing students, and for HEIs. All results are freely available on the Internet under Results (Ergebnisse des HochschulRankings). In 1998, the CHE published its first ranking in co-operation with Stiftung Warentest. The first ranking analysed business administration and chemistry programmes. In subsequent years, the range of subjects analysed has been continually expanded. From 1999 until 2004, the ranking was issued with the German magazine stern. Since 2005 it has been published by the German weekly newspaper DIE ZEIT. The CHE's is responsible for conception, data collection and analysis. The co-operation partner DIE ZEIT is in charge of publication, sales and marketing. *Text taken verbatim from http://www.che-ranking.de/cms/?getObject=615&getLang=en Shanghai JiaoTong – Academic Ranking of World Universities (Established 2003) [email protected] http://www.arwu.org/ First published in 2003 by the faculty of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, the Academic Ranking of World Universities was the first global rankings to appear on a major scale. The ARWU methodology awards 10% to each institution for alumni who have a Nobel Prize or a Fields Medal. 20% is given to an institution who has faculty members who have a Nobel prize and/or Fields medal. A further 20% is attributed to highly cited researchers in 21 broad subject categories. The final indicators measure research output with 20% attributed to papers published in Nature and Science journals. A following 20% is given to papers indexed in Science Citation Index-expanded and Social Science Citation Index. The final 10% is taken by using the weighted scores of these five indicators divided by the institution‘s number of full-time equivalent academic staff. QS World University Rankings® (Established 2004) www.topuniversities.com Address: 1 Tranley Mews, Fleet Road London, NW3 2DG Phone: +44 (0) 20 7428 2782 QS has been conducting research in a range of areas since 1990, beginning with a global survey of MBA employers. The QS World University Rankings®, the most well-known research project that QS operates, has been in existence since 2004. To meet the increasing public interest for comparative data on universities and organisations, and the growing demand for institutions to develop deeper insight into their competitive environment, the QS Intelligence Unit (QSIU) was formed in 2008 as a distinct and autonomous department. Headed by Ben Sowter, QSIU is tasked with the research and production of the QS World University Rankings® as well as the QS Asian University Rankings, Subject Rankings, and future developments of more distilled rankings.

  • A Comparative Study Between Brazil and Portugal
    DOI: 10.36315/2019v2end027 Education and New Developments 2019 OVERVIEW OF DESIGN TEACHING ON ENGINEERING COURSES: A COMPARATIVE STUDY BETWEEN BRAZIL AND PORTUGAL Claudia Alquezar Facca1, Jorge Lino Alves2, & Ana Mae Barbosa3 1Engineering School, Mauá Institute of Technology (Brazil); PPG Design, Anhembi Morumbi University (Brazil); Faculty of Engineering, University of Porto (Portugal) 2INEGI, Faculty of Engineering, University of Porto (Portugal) 3PPG Design, Anhembi Morumbi University (Brazil) Abstract This paper presents an overview of design teaching in the undergraduate engineering courses at the main institutions of higher education in Brazil and Portugal. In order to carry out the comparative study, the curricula of the main engineering courses in Brazil and Portugal were used. The aim of the research is to first analyze how the design, as a disciplinary content, is being introduced in the engineering courses in both countries. In a second moment, a comparative analysis will be made between the information collected in Brazil and in Portugal in order to register how this conjugation is occurring and whether there is some similarity or not in the way of design approach in the engineering courses in each country. As a result, it is discussed how the design can collaborate with the interdisciplinarity between these areas and contribute with the formation of the new competences of the engineer. Keywords: Education, design, engineering, Brazil, Portugal. 1. Introduction Education is the object of study, concern, focus, strategy and discussion in all the nations of the globe and reflects the intense changes the world has witnessed in the last decades of the 20th century, beginning with the two great wars, then the expansion of capitalism and the cultural and economic globalization in the 21th century.

    Understanding the Differences A Working Paper Series on Higher Education in Canada, Mexico and the United States Working Paper #9 Academic Mobility in North America: Towards New Models of Integration and Collaboration by Fernando León-García Dewayne Matthews Lorna Smith Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education The Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE) is a public interstate agency established to promote and to facilitate resource sharing, collaboration, and cooperative planning among the western states and their colleges and universities. Member and affiliate states include Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. In 1993, WICHE, working in partnership with the Mexican Association for International Education (AMPEI), developed the U.S.-Mexico Educational Interchange Project to facilitate educational interchange and the sharing of resources across the western region of the U.S. and with Mexico. In 1995, the project began a trinational focus which includes Canada, with the goal of fostering educational collaboration across North America. In 1997, the project changed its name to the "Consortium for North American Higher Education Collaboration" (CONAHEC). The "Understanding the Differences" series was developed as a resource for the initiative and was created under the direction of WICHE's Constituent Relations and Communications and Policy and Information Units. CONAHEC’s Web site is located at http://conahec.org.

References for Further Reading, 17 A. Overview We are in one of those periodic events were major changes take place and will have a corresponding changes in higher education. However, colleges and universities have been partly immune to such changes in the past, and we have kept the basic structure for hundreds of years. For example, the way professors interact with classes, the role of students, and the basic functions of universities have not changed much in the last 70 or more years (that is, since WW II). Changes have occurred and at times may appear to us as significant changes, but in reality there is a lot of tradition and historic approaches sprinkled with a lot of new things.. But this time the changes underway may be significant for the long-term as well as the short-term. They are occurring more rapidly and they require a new tool box on the part of university administrators.

    2013/2014 QS Global 200 Business Schools Report Unlocking the world’s top 200 business schools according to MBA employers Nunzio Quacquarelli, MA Cambridge, MBA Wharton Danny Byrne, BA Oxford, MA University College London www.TopMBA.com 3 Introduction The QS Global 200 Business Schools Report originated in the early 1990s as an alternative to business school rankings. The ratings provide a detailed overview of the most popular business schools around the world, based on details provided to QS by over 4,318 employers who actively recruit MBA graduates. Without inferring any overall rankings, QS’ objective is to provide a resource to help prospective MBA students identify the business schools from which employers most actively recruit. The research is intended to be of use to MBA employers, prospective MBA students and institutions worldwide that are interested in international business education and recruitment trends. At the heart of the report is the definitive list of 200 business schools from which employers prefer to recruit MBAs. This list is compiled from an annual survey of human resources (HR) managers and line managers with recruiting responsibilities at companies around the world. Each year, employers recommend new schools to be added to the list. This is then sent to other recruiters to rate. Follow us QS Global 200 Business Schools Report 2013/14 1.0 Fast Facts www.TopMBA.com 5 • Five schools received the maximum score for employer recognition, identifying them as the leading schools in their region: Harvard and Stanford (North America), INSEAD - France and London Business School (Europe), and INSEAD – Singapore (Asia-Pacific).
