The consortium members intend to disseminate the results
and outcomes of this project through four main channels:
Publication in print of the written material, including
guideline documents for curricula development and the
Training of Trainers course, and the widespread
distribution of the course book. The main target for
this material will be students and staff in Egyptian and
international higher education establishments and
representatives of industry.
Posters, flyers and presentations will be used to inform
other departments of consortia member institutions in
Egypt about the project.
Developing an internet information server to provide
information to all consortium members about the progress
of the project will enhance dissemination of information
within the consortia. The web site created will also be
used to disseminate the information to the general
public and to promote e-learning for students through
remote access.
Towards the end of the project, after the course
structure is finalised, it is envisaged that the
Training for Trainers courses will be made available for
more general participation, in and outside the
consortium. This will be publicised through media
channels, the mechatronics networks and public
structures like the QAAP.
The dissemination will be carried out with, and
supported by the Industrial Modernisation Centre
wherever appropriate, especially information about the
round table discussions, the student placements in
industry and the feedback on needs from industry.
Appropriate national and international events will be
targeted, were presentations and/or posters will
increase awareness about the project. Utilising the
expertise of all consortium members to participate in
international fora and thereby to facilitate
dissemination of the project aims, methods, and results
to a wider audience. Many of these events bring
together academia and industry, and will provide
opportunities for dialogue, stimulate discussions and
instigate future co-operations.
The Open Days and information events by the National
TEMPUS Office in Egypt will be fully supported by all
means possible and used to disseminate all appropriate
information.

Related Assumptions
and risks: |
The demands and needs by the different
national sectors, e.g. the private business
and higher education sectors, continue to be
relevant after completion of the project;
the project is completed successfully;
Egyptian higher education institutions
accept the new provisions as a valuable
addition to their services.
Public interest in these fields remains

Description of the activity: |
The Egyptian consortia partners will prepare
presentations, and printed materials that
explain the features and benefits of the
study programme to higher education
facilities, and compile a target list of
potential implementers. After completion of
course descriptions and the book in a form
suitable for dissemination outside the
consortium, the material will be made
available to all interested higher education
institutions in Egypt, that are not part of
the consortium. The documents will also be
made available internationally through
electronic means for interested universities
and other stakeholders in higher education
thus facilitating its adaptation and
adoption in other educational settings. |

Description of the activity: |
The web-based information portal, to be
created, will offer a knowledge base with
free access to all consortium members (next
activities, tasks, news etc.) as well as a
means to facilitate group work on documents
etc. Public access will be limited to
general project information and description,
major results, methodology etc.
The management of the platform’s content
will be part of the responsibility of the
Egyptian consortia partners. |

Description of the activity: |
The activities associated with the round
table discussion (2.1), student placements
(2.2) industry open days (2.4) and awareness
rising efforts (4.3) will also be used to
disseminate all other goals and achievements
of this project. Furthermore, full
presentations and slides will be prepared to
be used whenever possible and appropriate in
project unrelated activities by the
consortia partners, like the annual meetings
of the Mechatronics eV and the Network on
Research and Education in Mechatronics
(REM), or engineering conferences in Egypt,
Europe and world wide.
