“The Formation of the Engineer- International Models”: CLAIU-EU Conference 11/12 February 2011 Roma
The CLAIU EU Conference on 11/12 February 2011 in Roma will focus on the different approaches to the formation of the professional engineer. This will include the continental European model which considers that the process is completed through a five year Master degree programme in engineering. This model will be compared to the process which prevails in jurisdictions of the Washington Accord signatories, that is, a formal education process normally through a four year Bachelor degree followed by a period of approximately four years working in industry developing professional competences.
The conference will also deal with approaches to the education and formation of engineering technicians and technologists and how these professionals contribute to industry and the profession.
