Structure of the Initiative
The current plan is to repeat the initiative on a yearly basis.
In 2009, two Courses will be prepared and executed.
The long-term vision is to collaborate with TCN, an international consortium of companies and research institutes, and in this way, to support TCN’s utmost ambition to transfer knowledge and education through state-of-the-art technologies from science to industry.
- in 2009, two courses will take place in February and September
- the entire costs for Course Participants’ travel and accommodation will be covered by EnginSoft
- an incentive of 2400 Euro will be offered to those Course graduates who are selected and accept to be engaged in one of the EnginSoft or Partner Offices in Europe
Content and structure of Courses
- time-frame: 500 hours
- certain parts of the content will be defined according to the level and background of the classes (young graduates or post-docs; experienced or non experienced);
EnginSoft represents an innovative engineering and technology organisation which serves a loyal customer base representing varies industries and academic institutions with different background. In this context, the approach will be to adapt the teaching content of each Course to the specific skills and objectives of the Participants to guarantee maximum learning successes and mutual advantages on both sides.
Each Course will consist of three phases:
- Introductory phase (150 hours) common to all Participants:
Virtual Prototyping applications are classified by categories of problems from both the industrial and research point of view. They are also classified by problem size and complexity, as well as by practical/operational aspects (such as CAE manipulation and fixing, parametric modelling, design chain, multi-disciplinary approaches and/or multi-physics). There will be also some training on leadership, innovation, working practices and philosophies, confidentiality issues, etc. Moreover, available technologies in the different areas are briefly described (advantages/disadvantages; trends,..) including brief (20-40 hours) hands-on experiences.
Third Phase (100 hours): Course project: A specific project will be developed with each Participant, with tutoring from scientific/application staff of EnginSoft and/or partner universities. The Course project may be carried out at partner companies’ sites and/or be replaced by week long assignments to partner companies thus testing their ability and allowing Participants to appraise the possible placement
Registration and acceptance Procedure
- Applicants should submit a CV in electronic format by using the template provided on the website of the initiative (www.enginsoft.com/school)
- The CV is in the standard EC format but includes a table with specific questions for a self-evaluation of competences and background.
- There are also plans to establish and maintain an open portal for CV submissions, similar to previous procedures in place with the Marie Curie Project EUA4X. The portal would be open to anyone interested, without any limitations in time. Such a portal may attract a larger number of CVs and could be a starting point for a possible continuation of the EUA4X Project in the long-term.
- A list of publications should be included (if any), as well as copies of papers which might be relevant for the evaluation. Requests for publication material will be linked to the self-evaluation table.
- The website is open without any time restrictions. The candidate is requested to specify whether his/her application is for the February or September edition of the Course.
- Further questions will address the mobility of the applicant to consider locations in Europe and the US for possible later placements as well as his/her willingness to be included in the applicant data-base for further initiatives.
- In this context, also European agencies for mobility projects and virtual learning are to be contacted, to exchange databases. This may open other doors!
- Applications for the February edition will be accepted until end of November. By 15th December, applicants will be notified about their acceptance.
- As part of the acceptance procedure, and on a case by case basis, applicants will be requested to come to an interview with the school organizers and/or with partner companies.
- Accepted applicants (possibly slightly in access of 15) will be invited to join the school. This will be commenced within a 1 week of the immersion period (almost part of the acceptance stage) in order to allow any candidate who may not be up to scratch or change his/her mind to exit. In such cases, travel costs will be supported by EnginSoft, but no other right or compensation may be claimed by the applicant.
- At the end of the first phase, a similar check will be made, again with the possibility for the Participant to quit, and for the organisers not to grant the Participant to continue. The check will also serve to decide how to subdivide the school into subgroups, and to finalize the detailed plan for each subgoup.
- At the end of phase three, decisions on who, how and where to proceed with the engagement of the Participants will be taken. Again, Participants are allowed to quit, and EnginSoft reserves the right not to proceed. Those Course graduates who accept to be engaged, will be offered a prize (details to be defined)
- Create your CV online now
following the online instructions and examples. You will then receive the completed CV electronically.
