Teaching and Research in Engineering in Europe Coordinators: Prof. Claudio BORRI, Università degli Studi di Firenze Prof. Francesco MAFFIOLI, Politecnico di Milano
90 + 6 Institutions • Including CESAEER • SEFI • Institution of Incorporated Engineers-IIE • Engineering Professors’ Council-EPC • Engineering Council-EC • Internationale Gesellschaft fuer Ingenieurpedagogik-IGIP • BEST • Bureau National des Eléves Ingénieurs-BNEI
TOTAL BUDGET 2.250.000€
Aims and objectives of the project The development of the European dimension in EE through a careful identification of key aspects of interest to all branches of engineering. The activity of TREE will be structured into many relatively small Special Interest Groups (SIG), each one targeted to produce a specific “tool”, under the co-ordination of a SIG Leader.
