TA VIE: Tools for Enhancing and Assessing the Value of International Experience for Engineers.
Erasmus+ project with Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Ecole Centrale de Nantes, Budapesti Muszaki es Gazdasagtudomanyi Egyetem, and Universita Degli Studi di Trento, 2018-2021.
Project Objectives
Develop internationalization strategies and tools for enhancing and assessing global competence for engineering students and alumni, promoting embedded mobility schemes and enforce their quality, and strengthen employability through cooperation across national and organizational borders.
- Identify the global competence (knowledge, skills and attitudes) needed by engineers to work and communicate effectively in organisations and companies characterized by cultural and social diversity.
- Develop a toolkit that helps HEIs, companies and organisations as well as engineers to assess the impact of training and international experience on global competence, which will enhance quality assurance of education and international mobility.
- Develop innovative and effective teaching and training strategies for students in higher education, drawing on theory and current best practices, and making better use of the many existing opportunities for embedded mobility and cooperation.
- Develop strategies and ways for promoting employability that valorizes the competence of engineering graduates with international experience.
