The EPS Experience at UPC-Barcelona Tech

  • Chapter
Project Approaches to Learning in Engineering Education

Abstract

The EPS was not an original idea. It was first developed in Denmark at the Copenhagen University of Engineering in the Industrial Design field. The main reason why we choose to implement the programme at UPC is that it was a new international programme adapted to the European Higher Education Area which was just being implemented in Spain at that time. Moreover it was suitable for lastyear engineering students, who were the main target of our international mobility programmes.
