TEMPUS IV Project „Curricula Reformation and Harmonisation in the field of Biomedical Engineering CRH-BME”

Penkala K.

Bio-Algorithms and Med-Systems

2011

Vol. 7, no. 3

47--50

In the paper the aims, main objectives and preliminary results of the of CRH-BME project are presented, after 2,5 years of its running. The consortium is characterised as well as activities realised within the project are described. The project, coordinated by the University of Patras in Greece, is currently in the phase of dissemination of its results, however, for some Work Packages, final reports are still under construction. Implementation of the project results, mainly generic curricula for study programmes in the area of Biomedical Engineering, can lead to improvement of compatibility and harmonisation as far as education in this field is concerned, in the EU and Partner Countries (three countries from the Eastern Partnership are involved in the project: Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia). Thus, the impact of the project on students and teachers mobility can be achieved as well.

Social Impacts on the Maritime Education – a Case Study of National Kaohsiung Marine University in Taiwan

Hu Jia-Shen, Chang S. W., Chen T. S.

TransNav : International Journal on Marine Navigation and Safety of Sea Transportation

2008

Vol. 2, no. 2

197--203

Recent developments in Taiwan toward the technology intensive country, the employment of cost effective foreign labors by shipping companies, the widespread of universities and the internationalization of shipping industries propose considerable threats on the quality assurance of maritime education. A resultant crisis for lacking on-board seafarers with managerial levels has urged the consolidation of governmental, private and educational organizations in the attempts to further improve the quality of maritime education and to promote the on-board career incentives. The process from the formulation of problems to the implementation of strategies undertaken by the National Kaohsiung Marine University (NKMU) is reviewed. A chain reaction initiated from the degradation of students’ entry performances due to the widespread of universities has formed a viscous cycle leading to the outsourcing of foreign human resources by shipping industry. Strategies in the aspects of course reform, joint ventures of lectureship with shipping industry, pre-courses for students’ extended career plans and the establishment of educational center that consolidates the departments of navigation, marine engineering and fishery in NKMU are illustrated.
