Cantu. Professor of Research and Graduate Studies at Tecnológico de Monterrey “The process of accreditation by QS Stars required us to collect and compile information regarding our university and academic performance that until then had not been gathered systematically. But the enthusiastic support of our faculty and staff allowed us to demonstrate our high level of achievement, which resulted in an impressive number of stars in a wide range of fields.

  • 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.

  • QS Global 200 Business Schools Report Unlocking the World’S Top 200 Business Schools According to MBA Employers
    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).

  • University Rankings 2021
    2021 QS Quacquarelli Symonds WORLD UNIVERSITY RANKINGS 2021 Welcome On behalf of all at QS, we are delighted to introduce the 17th edition of the QS World University Rankings (WUR). This year marks 16 years of the world’s most consulted university rankings. The 2021 edition is, however, a particularly poignant one – a reflection of the higher education sector before the global pandemic. We know this pandemic will have painful and wide-reaching effects on our sector and the uncertainty faced by students and institutions alike will be keenly felt. The research intensity of The record-breaking figures for internationalization metrics and faculty recent years may be diffi- student ratio may not be seen again for some years to come. The cult to sustain under the research intensity of recent years may be difficult to sustain under the financial pressure now financial pressure now weighing on institutions. In short, the 2021 WUR weighing on institutions. will likely be a resetting of the trajectory of rankings, looked on in future both as a reminder of the good times and a setpoint to reach for once more. These rankings are, whilst useful for faculty, administrators and policy makers, designed with students at their heart. Now more so than ever, the weight of uncertainty faced by students on where to place their time, effort and money for a world-class education is palpable. With campuses closed, learning ported online and time differences almost an anachronism, the need for objective guidance and independent insights remains strong. Choosing where to study is a complicated and highly personal endeavor, and we hope to play our part in making this decision easier.

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.
