Abstract

A new academic curriculum for the Electronics and Automation Enginering Degree at the University of Zaragoza, Spain has been developed in the contest of the European Space for Higher Education. We analyse the distribution and weight of basic contents (subjects related to Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Mechanics, Fluids...) and specialized contents (electronics and automation), pointing strengths and weaknesses. Finally, we propose some actions and methodologies for the implementation of this new academic curriculum, Intended to achieve a balance between basic and speclallsed contents oriented to educating Engineers for the European marker.
