Abstract :
In this article, authors present the objectives of the EU ERASMUS CD project: European Study Programme for Advanced Networking Technologies (ESPANT). Major novelties in the development of one year curriculum long and lifelong learning oriented are discussed. The competences design aspects are described and a Syllabus contents presented as a crucial methodology to develop the ESPANT innovative teaching approach. In ESPANT, training has place in a realistic, real world environment rather than an artificial lab setup where operational competences rather than the reproduction of theoretical details play a central role. Flexibility of the Teaching/Learning paradigm is guaranteed by implementing educational novelties such as e-learning, video conferencing and distance learning.
