Management and Assessment of Curricula in Technical Higher Education

Abstract:

The experience in teaching in engineering learning contexts has lead to the idea to study in depth this theme Curriculum evaluation in the field of engineering due to the acknowledged real life situations in our current practice. This paper wishes to create a modern vision of this important stage of the teaching and learning process in the field of engineering. This is to say, through the establishment of the ideal stages in the design and administration of an assessment test. Last but not least, similarly to the education process where there is no real unique recipe to approach education in the assessment process no unique recipe can be given. This works on a situation-based basis so as to indeed be one of the real instruments that help us improve the added value in the context of the entire educational process. In conclusion, the novelty brought about is that assessment in any field of education, in engineering also, must be regarded as a specific part of the educational field, where all factors psychological and material that are characteristic to the instructive and educational activity are taken into consideration.
