The EEA (Electronic, Electrical and Automation Engineering) and Surface Transportation Platform: Education by Practice and Projects: The System Approach

The tutoring methodology based on the System Approach has been very successful. It has its foundation on the triangle: Education - Research - Industry. The Universities of Technologies are public university institutes for scientific, cultural and professional activities. In order to teach this "system approach", the GESC has set up a tutorial platform namely, EEA and surface transportation platform dedicated to electrical systems and particularly to those about transportation. These real systems, equipped with instruments for teaching activities, allow students to touch and understand physical phenomena of the domains of EEA. With the purpose to give engineering students a scientific and technological highly qualified education, theory and practice, much attention should be paid to the set-up of experimental rigs coming from real industrial scenarios.
