European universities during ELLEIEC-project, which wassupported by EU-FP7 programme. We discussed and agreed on main results for the describedaccreditation procedure for test of skills, competencies and knowledge with all 60 participants inELLEIEC-project. Figure 1. Modules in Electrical Engineering programIn the following we describe the fields of control systems agreed in EAEEIE forum and takenfrom the contents of a certain book, one of the internationally used books in Control Systems, inorder to have a common reference for the overall study content for our work group. This book is“Control Systems Engineering” by Norman S. Nise10 and the chosen areas of control theory are:1. Mathematical Modeling in the frequency Domain

trying tofacilitate innovation in their employees, but students are not learning how to be creative in arapidly changing world 1. For solving this problem it is necessary to project the integrativeeducational system (cluster) for training creatively thinking students.For this objective an innovative educational model, new methodology and technology, newthinking, and higher level of consciousness become necessary. Models of contemporaryengineering education and activity must be based on general models which take intoconsideration the unity of the world in its complex connections, and ecological, ethical,aesthetical principles. In the process of developing the model an attention was focused on thefundamentalization of education, which is based

. Continuous interaction with enterprises helped motivatestudents to prepare for general classes individually; they have managed to gain good practicalmaterial for the final examination. Teachers have developed new teaching materials, which are nowwidely used in the educational process and mainly in the training of high school teachers. Neweducational technologies used in the implementation of programs are successfully incorporated intoin the main educational process. Among them – lectures given by foreign partners of the project, inperson as well as in the form of video lectures, audio presentations, recurring to pools of knowledgefrom the client enterprises' and program partners' databases; in-built consulting, etc. Thepreparatory work also includes

for graduate students and postdoctoral scholars. ThePROMISE AGEP: Maryland Transformation (AGEP-T) project is dedicated to increasing thenumber and diversity of PhD graduates in the STEM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering andMathematics), with a focus on developing a new generation of professors. Our goal for 2014 is toprovide graduate students with more experiences that go beyond a traditional undergraduate student-based study abroad program. We seek to develop programs that open doors outside of the U.S. toprovide graduate students w with groups of experiences that will lead to international jobopportunities and long-term research collaborations.IntroductionAs the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC: An Honors University in

The Bradley contingent stayed at five-star hotels in Amman (Jordan), on theNile in Luxor (Egypt) and at the American University of Cairo dormitories. All this wasaccomplished with four separate courses being taught concurrently: Nonwestern History,Construction Safety, Water Supply and Hydraulic Engineering, and Company ProjectManagement. Students were exposed to the same topics and for the same length of time as on theBradley campus. Classes were held at partnering universities in Jordan and Egypt, andoccasionally in hotel conference rooms.The course on Company Project
