Abstract:
Incorporation into the new European educational area has required a change in teaching methodology in the areas of engineering. Different times and speeds have taken place in different parts of the common European space. The present study examines changes in the Universities of Oradea and Transilvania of Brasov (Romania), and the UPV (campus of Alcoy). We performed first a general analysis procedure and after then focus on a common core subject and the various engineering as the science of materials. This analysis allowed us closer contents and methodologies between the various universities to facilitate exchange between students and teachers.
We get a mobility experience to students and teachers across departments with similar assigned courses. This experience suggest that after achieving the first goal of pre-faculty contact, it would be desirable, to a second phase where they are equivalent content and methodology to better assess student work and facilitate the teaching of the teacher.
This work includes comparative studies of common courses, its evolution towards the European Higher Education. Also, we propose a improvements series to allow better development of the core subjects to be taught.Keywords:
