COMPARATIVE RESEARCHES CONCERNING KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT IN ROMANIAN ENGINEERING EDUCATION - UNIKUM

General objectives of the project
Knowledge management is vital for a university to be able to develop its own knowledge, to come up with new knowledge and to react to the work environment in a way that should both meet the organization scopes and adapt to all perturbations occurring in that work environment. Consequently, knowledge management is becoming a strategic process that enables universities to keep up with all changes in the knowledge society, to improve their competitiveness and evolve to excellence.
Within this framework, the general objectives of the project is the sustain of research and development activities, carried out in collaboration by the consortium members, for the development of a knowledge management based environment in engineering education institutions, for new approach and innovation generation in teaching and research activities, as well as the improvement of effectiveness and efficiency of their services.

Specific objectives of the project
The following specific objectives were formulated:
1) Creation, development and integration of consortium;
2) The initiation, accomplisment and development of common researches:
a) identification of the knowledge management dimensionsbin engineering education;
b) establish the correlations and differences of knowledge management in engineering education;
c) develop a knowledge management based environment in engineering education institutions.
3) The transmission and valuation of results.
