Abstract

More than ten years after the signing of the Bologna Declaration, the European Higher Education Area has been launched on March 12 2010. Many of the original objectives have made a lot of progress, such as increasing the mobility amongst students in Europe in order to foster intercultural competencies and preparing the graduates for a global job market. In engineering though, the number of students who study abroad is still pretty low. Other aspects like comparable degrees or courses still need further development throughout all fields of study. After a short presentation about the background of the Bologna Process, the following article describes the implementation in Germany's engineering education so far. It also presents different opinions of various stakeholders. Further research questions are being discussed at the end of the paper. The role of the students is paid special attention to throughout the whole text. The article is based on qualitative documentary research.
