MEDIS project addresses curriculum adaptation at Masters level of engineering schools of PC universities to incorporate in their curricula Advanced Industrial Informatics Specialization Modules (AIISM) for the efficient control of distributed and complex industrial processes.
This reform will allow formation of highly qualified engineers that will be easily integrated in the labour market. Moreover, the incorporation of these engineers to industry would achieve greater productivity, increasing competitiveness of companies, benefiting the development of the whole society. To this end the wider objective of MEDIS is: Integration of a Problem Based-Learning methodology in Industrial Technology Masters Degrees for the Formation of High Qualified Engineers in the design of Advanced Industrial Informatics Systems based on Microcomputers, Industrial Computers and Mobile and Cloud Computing Platforms.
DATE 2013 – 2016
