A joint European curriculum in Logistics and Technology Management

The paper reports on a programme for a joint curriculum in Logistics and Technology Management with a strong European dimension. The joint curriculum has been developed to answer the needs of local industry and designed to provide a broad technical knowledge to train generalists rather than specialists i.e. engineers able to manage operations and keep pace with technology but who also understand the language of economics, who take active responsibility for the environment, and who have an international outlook. The programme is a three year undergraduate degree with harmonisation of th e first two years of study in the different partner institutions allowing students to choose to follow the third year in any of the institutions and obtain a double degree if they complete a year of study abroad.
