Agricultural Engineering University Curricula Harmonization Working Group
INTRODUCTION
The process of international harmonization of the degree study programs in Agricultural/Biosystems Engineering (ABE) was started by Prof. Giuseppe Pellizzi during CIGR 1989 Conference and was continued by Prof. Pierluigi Febo in the EU, within EurAgEng SIG RD12 - Education and Communication, and also elsewhere, within CIGR WG1 - Agricultural Engineering University Curricula Harmonization.
Then, four thematic networks were effective:
- USAEE-TN (University Studies of Agricultural Engineering in Europe - A Thematic Network), comprising 31 institutions from 27 countries, from 2002 to 2006;
- Consortium POMSEBES (Policy Oriented Measures in Support of the Evolving Biosystems Engineering Studies in USA - EU), comprising eight EU and four USA institutions, from 2006 to 2008;
- ERABEE-TN (Education and Research in Biosystems Engineering in Europe - A Thematic Network), comprising 35 institutions from 27 countries, from 2007 to 2010;
- Consortium TABE.NET (Trans-Atlantic Biosystems Engineering Curriculum and Mobility), comprising four EU and two USA institutions, from 2009 to 2013.
