TEEDE - Towards Excellence in Engineering Dual Education
About the Erasmus project TEEDE :- The Erasmus project TEEDE (Towards Excellence in Engineering Curricula for Dual Education) aims at upgrading/developing curricula in engineering trade by introducing industrial component through an agreement (Memorandum of Understanding between the academia and industry). Unlike a dual degree program, the dual education introduces the industrial component to the curricula in engineering trade instead of an internship thereby modernizing the existing system of professional development by way of shouldering higher responsibility and challenging problems by way of work at the level of Junior Engineer level leading to a possible faster career growth. The project aims to promote the modernization, to expand the availability and to develop the internationalization of higher education in the partner countries; to promote intercultural and interpersonal exchange, the voluntary convergence with the tendencies of the development of higher education in the EU. Prof.Rajesh R Nair, Department of Ocean Engineering is the programme leader at IIT Madras for this new initiative. List of MoUs under TEEDE project.
