ERAMIS Tempus Project

ERAMIS Tempus Project Final Conference – Voronezh, June 2013 2
 To set up a network of Master’s degree
“Informatics as a Second Competence”
 among 9 beneficiary universities of Kazakhstan,
Kyrgyzstan and Russia,
 with the support of 5 European universities.

3
 Disciplinary and geographical extension of the existing
Masters in Grenoble and in Bishkek (Double Degree in
Computer Science and Social Sciences):
 to engineering sciences and exact sciences,
 to Russian, Kazakh and Kyrgyz Universities.
 Development of necessary conditions to set up Double
Diploma.
 National and international professionalization of the Master’s
degree: harmonization of concepts between ERAMIS
network partners.
ERAMIS Tempus Project Final Conference – Voronezh, June 2013

 Unusual master: not a specialization of the Bachelor’s
domain
 Aims to provide an additional professional specialization in
computer sciences
 Open to students with a Bachelor degree in another field
than computer sciences
◦ students of exact sciences and engineering science
◦ students of human and social sciences
 Master’s degree program ISC is created on the basis of two
masters:
◦ At Université Pierre Mendès France, Grenoble (created in 1985)
◦ At Kirghize National University, Bishkek (created in 2007)

1. Needs analysis
2. Construction of the syllabuses for the Master’s program of the
network
3. Constitution of educational teams for the Master’s degree
4. Accreditation of the Master's in Russia, Kazakhstan and
Kirghizstan
5. Training sessions in European Universities and training seminars
in beneficiary countries Universities
6. Start up of the Master's first year in Russian, Kazakh and Kirghiz
Universities.
7. Development of the educational documents
8. Quality assurance
9. Sharing elective courses

• 2 surveys carried out in every region
• 2383 students (1012 SHS, 1371 sciences & engineering)
• 174 companies
• General results
• Depending on the country, the number of interested students vary from 40% to 65%
• Industrial companies need IT/CS specialists. Therefore Informatics as a second
competence makes sense.
• Industrial companies need different kinds of IT/CS specialists such as web developers,
software engineers, network administrators etc. depending on the geographic location.
• Industrial companies need not only “pure” IT/CS specialists
→ Common modules for generic competences and particular
modules for specific competences.

 Creation of the Monitoring, Evaluation and
Improvement Committee of ERAMIS network
 Audit of all the beneficiary universities
 Assessment of students’ learning: creation of a
virtual survey to evaluate and compare the level of
the students
 Creation of tests in English and in Russian
 Tests installed on a Web assessment platform and testing
 Evaluation of the results by the independent expert

 Tests were produced by each beneficiary partner
◦ for all the common courses
◦ in English or in Russian
 The produced tests were translated in English /
Russian
 In order to insure the tests will cover the whole
syllabuses
◦ the syllabuses were divided in 3, 4 or 5 parts
◦ each partner have produced 3 to 5 questions for each part
 The tests produced were evaluated by experts (the
course leaders)
 About 800 test questions were produced

 For all the organized trainings and seminars,
documents (in English or in local language of the
animator) were given to the participants.
 For all masters, pedagogic documents were
produced in English or in Russian
 Some of these documents were uploaded on the
ERAMIS project management platform (Grenoble)
 All the tests produced are available for all the
partners

 Many presentation of papers describing different
aspects of ERAMIS Project, in international
conferences (IEEE EDUCON, ICL, …) or scientific
newspapers (International Journal of Engineering
Pedagogy, …)
 Conference in Bishkek in June 2012
 Web site of the project
 Many web pages speaking about ERAMIS project

 Alicante and Voronezh
 Lublin and Voronezh
 Alicante and Lublin
 Grenoble and Voronezh
 Grenoble and Almaty
 Lublin and Almaty
 KNU and Lublin
 KNU and KSTU Bishkek

 Size of the consortium: administrative and accounting tasks
underestimated => delays
 Difficulties related to Russian and Kazakh standards of
higher education
 Insufficient level of English of certain teachers and students
from the partner Universities
 Difficulties due to compatibility constraints among the
Masters degree programs of Eramis network
 Poor involvement of the companies
 Difficulties of communication with and between the partners
 All the students work in parallel of the studies
=> difficulties to do the home work
=> a lack of practical activities
