ESoCAET (European School of Computer Aided Engineering Technology)
| Type of funding: |
Leonardo Programme |
| Kick-off: |
October 2004 |
| Duration: |
24 months |
|
The objective of the project is to organize a Master for the industrial sector, to promote the knowledge of numerical simulation in a in-depth way. The Technical High Schools of Landshut and Ingolstadt operate in Bavaria as partners to settle within the higher school system. The “Engineering in Simulation” master course has to be provided compatibly with the business commitments of the participants during the three semesters. The training quality has to be achieved through the presence of acknowledged experts as lecturers, coming from higher schools and companies.

The ESoCAET project is addressed to people with an engineering background and at least two years of professional experience, aiming at strengthening their knowledge or at re-orienting their carrier. Also students, combining training/working activities may take a diploma in “Master of Engineering in Simulation”, a qualification surely boosting their professional life. Everyone who took a degree, can, thanks to ESoCAET, obtain the Master certificate, while keeping on working.
The industry is increasingly demanding for computation engineers, while new products have to meet higher requirements, in terms of functionalities, environmental sustainability, security and affordability. Customers’ needs are becoming more and more different and products have to be accordingly diversified. In this perspective, time plays a key role, since innovation has to be pushed quickly forward. The company can meet a wide range of needs, only feeding its development with a significant know-how, disguised as expertise, computation procedures and CAE tools. The ESoCAET project is based on the fact that even big companies do not have enough expertise as far as Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) is concerned. This lack has been pointed out to FEDCAM by companies like Ferrari, Bosch, Siemens, Valeo, and many other medium businesses.
With respect to the current and future demands of the European industrial context, the numerical simulation training offer is inadequate at present, also because of the rapid and complex changes of this sector. A growing need for computation experts is expected for the future.
Deliverables
- A training courses certified as a “Master of Engineering in Simulation”;
- A modular curriculum based on ECTS, complemented with other subjects like company competence, management techniques, and an efficient direction of the project till the collaborative engineering;
- A CD-ROM with the contents of the single ESOCAET modules;
- Modules for single courses to be held in the partners’ national languages;
- Studies and exams schedule;
- A lesson index guide;
- An English handbook to repeat the course;
- A web platform for the e-learning;
- A web site.
