EuroTeQ as an Alliance to Promote European Engineering Education

Abstract

The ongoing technical progress needs in deepening the partnership of engineering educational institutions. The EuroTeQ University Alliance, created by six leading European universities of science and technology, represents one of the first responses to this challenge. The paper is dedicated to assessing the strengths and weaknesses of the EuroTeQ platform. The EuroTeQ student cohort is compared here with the international student team studied at the host university for three years and the European Erasmus+ one-semester student team. A discipline “Robotics” of six credit points for the bachelor degree came into the focus of this study. An active learning approach was applied as the basic educational methodology. As a result of multilateral analysis and observations, several directions for further development of the EuroTeQ Alliance are proposed.
