A survey of the evolution of the Bologna Process in EIE in Europe

The EIE-surveyor project is a European thematic network funded by the European Commission for a three-year period until October 2008. Its partnership includes 110 European academic institutions, which aims at acting both as an observatory and a proposition force for the evolution in the inter-disciplinary fields of electrical and information engineering (EIE), of engineering curricula through the implementation of the Bologna process. The content of the project includes a survey and proposition of competencies, accreditation procedures, curricula contents and multinational degrees. In this paper we describe the work developed and results obtained in Task 3.1-A Survey of the Bologna Process in EIE at the Bachelor, Master and PhD level. This paper presents the main objectives of the project, the methodologies used and activities developed in the task. A comparative analysis of the obtained data will allow a clear perspective of the evolution of the implementation of the Bologna process across Europe, concerning not only the bachelor and masterpsilas degrees but also the numbers of PhDs and their interplay with industry, and mobility at all levels in Europe.
