Neste ano foi promovida uma ação de formação que visava abordar a questão da relação entre a mobilidade e a investigação no âmbito da educação em engenharia.

GLOBAL MOBILITY, RESEARCH AND QA IN ENGINEERING EDUCATION
Data: 25 de novembro de 2011 (sexta-feira), 14:30-16:00
Local: FEUP, Sala I-105

The talk/seminar aims to enable engineering educators to understand and gain fundamental knowledge, issues and current practices of mobility, research and quality assurance in engineering education. It outlines and elaborates important issues of global mobility and quality assurance in engineering education. In addition the importance of research and publication in engineering/technology education, especially for the early career engineering educators, will also be explored and elaborated with some key examples.
