Introduction
The E-TEAM programme
is a two-year Master programme in the field of textile engineering. The
programme was developed in the framework of and with full support of the
Socrates programme of the European Union.
E-TEAM builds an international
and highly advanced programme in which the latest developments in the
textile field are incorporated. The programme aims at stemming the tide
of the continuous lack of interest for textile education among young people.
To this purpose, textile education is brought in a multidisciplinary way
and the strengths of the most renowned education specialists in the domain
of textiles in Europe are brought together. The programme ensures that
the demands of an industry continuously striving for technological innovation,
creativity, quality and an excellent performing management are fulfilled.
The Master programme is a full-time
programme. The courses are lectured in English.
All major European Universities
offering textile education participate in the programme. As such, the
programme benefits from the strengths of the already existing textile
programmes in Europe and covers all modern areas related to textiles.
The programme is organised at different locations: the students spend
one semester (four to six months) at each university. Specialised lecturers
can come as well from the host university as from another participating
university. The last semester of the two-year programme is meant for the
thesis at one of the participating universities (to be chosen by the student)
under supervision of a promoter, possibly in cooperation with the industry.
Students who are admitted spend
one year and a half (three semesters) on three geographically spread regions
in Europe where they are taught by a large number of professors of the
participating universities. Each lecturer passes on his or her specific
knowledge in a course module covering one or two weeks.
Next to the traditional lecturing
methods, active methods are used such as case-studies, presentation of
papers, practical work in laboratories, etc. To link theory with practice,
company visits in the host country are regularly organised.
