Abstract

The EngineeriNg educaTors pEdagogical tRaining (ENTER) project aims at creating a novel multicultural and international approach for formal post-graduate professional and pedagogical education for engineering educators. It is focused on low cost and convenience, thus strongly based on e-learning technologies, whenever feasible, and designed with the objective of being internationally recognized and accredited. It is proposed a hierarchy of 3 structured educational programs for engineering educators, in the context of the European Qualifications Framework for Lifelong Learning. The methodology and quality assessment system of the developed programs are based on a multi-criteria approach and provide an adequate level of engineering educators training.
