Abstract(s)
EPS is a one semester student-centred capstone programme designed by Arvid
Andersen in Denmark, being currently offered by several European engineering
schools. Its goal is to promote the development of scientific, technical and soft skills
in students through multicultural teamwork and open, multidisciplinary project based
learning. EPS, while an active learning framework, is focussed on problem-solving,
communication, creativity, leadership, entrepreneurship, ethical reasoning and global
contextual analysis. The School of Engineering of the Porto Polytechnic is an EPS
provider since 2011, offering a 30 ECTU package with two-thirds assigned to the
project module and one-third to project supportive complementary modules. A total of
138 students from 18 countries participated in the EPS@ISEP, while developing 28
multidisciplinary projects. Based on this experience, this paper identifies strengths,
weaknesses and proposes ideas for the improvement of the programme
