Editorial Reviews

Drawing on the work of the past decade or so by European engineering schools reconciling their programs and practices with each other and European Union standards, educators look at the field as it becoming truly global, students have the opportunity and often the obligation to get foreign experience, and educational institutions more directly compete for students and resources. In 59 papers they look at trends facing the new global environment; international exchange programs; professional demand and requirements; communication skills, tools, and languages; examples of international programs; international networks and partnerships; the virtual university campus and open and distance education; the international market; information technology for individual and cooperative learning; recruitment issues; and specialized international programs. Perhaps a quarter of the papers are in French. Another 20 reports on round tables and workshop sessions complete the proceedings. The disk is not mentioned, so presumably repeats the text.
