Abstract of Proposed Action
Main activities of the programme are: curriculum development, implementation and dissemination.
This includes the development of entry tests for students, the preparation of websites
for student information, tutoring and guidance, quality assurance mechanisms, accreditation,
the parallel development of the programme into adult education (short courses), degree
award mechanisms, promotion of EPMA among possible employers of graduates, organisation
of and participation in conferences or workshops to demonstrate the products developed.
Inclusion of further full and "associated partners" in order to cover the key European players
in aeronautical engineering. Expected outputs of the curriculum development are: A well established
master programme and an extensive well prepared, internationally known and excepted
short course portfolio.

The "project description" is an answer to the questions found in the application in SECTION 4.
The project description can also be used independently of the application. It tries to provide
a general insight into what we think EPMA should be like.

Summary
Legal issues in Europe today still cause some problems in awarding a Joint Degree.
In order to fasilitate Joint Degrees the definition of a Joint Degree has been softened.
EPMA will probably not offer a "Real Joint Degree", but fulfills more than enough criteria to award simply a "Joint Degree": One degree is awarded in the name of the participating institution at which the student is registered (HAW). An additional unofficial degree certificate is awarded on behalf of the whole partnership, to testify that the programme has been developed and taught jointly. The possibility for a double degree option exists.
