Abstract :
PRAXIS is the European Network aiming to setup the European Center for Project/Internship (IP) Excellence, which is developed for needs of project oriented education and between others also support internationalization at home and mobility of students abroad. Project/Internship course units are particularly relevant to engineering degrees. It is through this type of courses that students have the chance to practice their technical skills in a real-world-like setting and experience soft skills that are a key factor for employability. Besides students and teachers also companies and HEI (Higher Education Institution) are included and integrated into PRAXIS and new connections are possible. For needs of PRAXIS project, we did a PI survey in which students, HEI and companies where involved. We decided to have analysis for Siovenian student separately on the base number of completed questionnaires/partners ratio, which was the highest between all 31 participating countries.
