June 13, 1996

The aim of this project is the establishment of the structure of long cycle alternating higher educational forms in engineering leading to diploma, based on the adaptation of international experiences (especially apprenticeship - CNAM, France), and real demands of Hungarian enterprises. The realisation will be carried out through pilot modules.

These work and financial plans are revisions of the Phare application (please find enclosed) without important changes. The minor changes were necessary because of the following reasons:

delay of the beginning of the project (the activities 1.,5. financed by external funds -MFA France - were carried out according to Phare application Timetable 3. The cost of these activities (ECU 30700) is not included in the project financial plan. Other preliminary activities were financed by TUB, CNAM, Engineers 2000, HRTI, Dunaferr are not included as well.)

Reduction of the PHARE funds by ECU 12000 led to the reduction of the number of planned professional modules financed by PHARE from 5 to 4.

Number of students recruited for the first 3 modules is approx 25, in the further planning we used this number. The educational cycle is 2 years, so some activities (and financement - accepted at this moment approx. ECU 22825)) will be after the end of the application period.

Activities of the project can be devided in 3 well defined fields, which contain some subfields. Here we describe in general the tasks related to the project, details will be given later in additional plans and Table 3. (Detailed activity and payment schedule).

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (Submodul 1)

Establishment of the specifications of communication lines (eg. computer network) between CNAM and CFA Hungary 2000 and other participants. Wide use of Internet communication for interaction with partners and learners, for distribution of learning materials and for "advertisement" of activities is foreseen. The realisation of an appropriate multimedia-based Internet server and the creation of the Home pages of CFA Hungary is an important task from the very beginning.

GENERAL MANAGEMENT - COMMON ACTIVITIES (Submodul 2)

Tasks:

- coordination of activities of consortium members, financing the project,

- investigation of legal, financial etc. background of the new educational form,

- general information of economic and academic sector, general advertisement,

- coordination of educational activities of modules,

- registration and follow up the learning process of students,

- methodology of tutorship,

- monitoring and evaluation.

This is the main common part of the project. Here will be carried out the summarising studies about the sandwich type engineering education, the information meetings, leaflets (partly adaptations of foreign partners' materials, the new meteorological elements of education (especially tutorship)

EDUCATIONAL MODULES (Submoduls 3-9).

The educational process will be organised in educational modules. Each student will have a professional (main) module and management, communication, language (English) modules.

Professional modules (Submodules 3-6).

They are related to different faculties of TUB. At this moment these are the following: Civil engineering - Steel structures, Electrical engineering and informatics - System and process engineering, Mechanical Engineering - Environment, Architecture - to be determined later (on demands of industry). Tasks:

- providing general structure of sandwich type education at the faculty level,

- curriculum development and harmonisation with enterprises,

- information of economic partners about the module, special advertisement,

- information of students about the module, participation in recruitment procedure,

- teaching in the academic period,

- participation in the preparation of industrial period,

- preparation of thesis work,

- academic tutorship (double tutorship: academic - enterprise)

- monitoring and evaluation

Management, Communication, Language (English) modules. The economic sector emphasized several times the importance of these type of knowledge for future engineers. Today besides of some special professional needs the existence of these modules serves one of the most important reasons to choose the sandwich type training. The academic education of these modules is planned to be mostly common for students of different professional modules. Tasks:

- curriculum development and harmonisation with enterprises,

- teaching in the academic period,

- participation in the preparation of industrial period, partial tutorship,

- distance learning in the industrial period,

- monitoring and evaluation
