Agreements wit ith Professional Orders

Advanced Training Courses

• Proposal of Agreements with Professional Orders:
• Attending high specialization paths grants professional credits (CFP)
• These professional credits can be recognized as university credits (CFU)

provided that practitioners enroll at eCampus University

• These guarantees a facilitated degree path for practitioners wanting to get a

University degree

Advanced Training Courses

• Through the advanced training courses, carried out in accordance

with professional orders, practitioners acquire contemporarily professional and university credits.

• The high-level training courses deal mainly with specific aspects of

civil engineering, for example: the safety of the structures and the

• rdinary and extra-ordinary maintenance of the structures

themselves.

eCampus University Dis istance Learning Model

Each course has an assigned amount of credits (CFU)

e-Campus Distance Learning Model

Each course counts 6, 9 or 12 CFU, e.g.:

• Meccanica delle strutture:

9 CFU

• Progetto di strutture:

12 CFU

• Teoria e progettazione dei ponti:

9 CFU 1 CFU = 25 hours

• f studying

16 hours of lessons (8 lessons, 2h each) 9 hours of individual studying Educational teaching (DE) Interactive teaching (DI) Other (study counseling) 6 h ≤ (DE+DI) ≤ 10 h DE ≥ 1 h DI ≥ 1 h Each course is composed by learning modules, each learning module is composed by 8 lessons DE & DI constraints:

1 CFU = 8 lessons = 16 h DE Other Video lecture In house (you see the lecturer) At home (you see an audio commented ppt) Virtual classroom (web conference on theoretical aspects) Exercises with an explicit teacher’s feedback Aula virtuale (web conference on performed exercises or projects) Conceptual Maps E-Portfolio Wiki Quiz Forum DI Exercises without an explicit teacher’s feedback Teaching materials prepared by the teacher Slides (ppt) Documents (pdf) 6 h ≤ (DE+DI) ≤ 10 h 6 h ≤ other ≤ 10 h

eCampus University and EAMC for accreditation programs in in Mediterranean countries

Double degree agreements of f eCampus

• Agreement with foreign partner universities:
• Comparing study plans of common or similar degree courses
• Recognizing exams and credits of common or similar degree courses
• Students can pass not recognized courses by studying online on eCampus

didactic materials while they are enrolled with the partner university

• Students get their foreign degree and contemporarily attend online eCampus

courses

• Once students get the foreign degree, and have passed all not recognized

courses at eCampus, they can perform an internship and discuss final thesis in Italy at eCampus University

Double degree agreements in Egypt

• Involved universities:
• Badr Univeristy
• Ain shams University
• Involved degree courses:
• Industrial Engineering, Energetic curriculum
• Civil and Environmental Engineering
• Computer and Automation Engineering

Double degree agreements in Tunisia

• Involved universities:
• Université Centrale
• Time University
• UPES – Université Privée des Etudes Scientifiques et Technologiques

The MEDACCR European proje ject

Main Aim

To set up and implement an on-line Quality Assurance (QA) system and an accreditation system of Engineering Study Programmes (ESPs) in Algeria, Jordan and Tunisia Partner Countries (PCs), consistent with the EUR-ACE Framework Standards and Guidelines (EAFSG).

The MEDACCR European proje ject

Specific Project Objectives

• To promote the design of student-centred ESPs

focused on the definition of learning outcomes consistent with the programme outcomes shared at European level.

• To bring the internal Quality Assurance (QA) of ESPs

into line with the Standards and Guidelines for QA in the European Higher Education Area (ESG).

The MEDACCR European proje ject

• To promote transparency and comparability of ESPs

through an on-line documentation of their QA.

• To identify/create national centres for the EUR-ACE

accreditation.

• To promote international recognition of ESPs

through EUR-ACE accreditation.

The MEDACCR European proje ject

• To guarantee the sustainability of the project results

through the involvement of the academic and administrative staff of the PUs.

• To promote the dissemination of the project results

through the agreement with Ministries of Higher Education of the PCs for the recognition/recommendation of EUR-ACE accreditation at national level.
