Abstract :
This paper deals with the problem of identifying the best EU practices regarding higher education policies in the field of engineering. The results are obtained by means of a work package in a Lifelong Learning Program. SALEIE - “Strategic Alignment of Electrical and Information Engineering in European Higher Education Institutions” program started in October 2012 and is on-going. The paper presents details regarding the design of a specific questionnaire, data collection by means of a wide survey and the preliminary analysis of the results. Here, only part of the answers is analysed, specifically those focussing to the procedure for starting a new programme and the evaluation of existing programmes.
