Countries: TR · Grant: €60,000

Project summary

The proposed joint master’s degree in Economics Engineering aims to establish a master's program that surpasses traditional economic education. The goal is to equip students with contemporary techniques, including quantitative economics, econometrics, big data analytics, and machine learning, fostering a well-prepared workforce for both academic and business environments. It combines engineering techniques with economic principles, thereby facilitating the comprehension and application of economic concepts and analytical methods by engineers and other technical experts. This interdisciplinary approach empowers engineers and professionals from various fields to contribute more effectively to economic evaluation and decision-making processes Our specific goals revolve around fostering a collaborative learning environment that transcends boundaries, enabling students to tackle the complexities and engineering challenges of global markets. Through this program, we aim to produce graduates skilled in applying economic insights to the solution of engineering problems, contributing to a diverse workforce capable of promoting innovation and sustainable development on an international scale. This program involves universities as; Yıldız Technical University (Turkiye), the University of Zürich (Switzerland), WSB University (Poland), University of Minho (Portugal), WSGE Universty (Poland), Centro Universitario Integrado (Brazil), and Johannesburg University (South Africa), collectively aims to provide education corresponding to Level 7 of the international standard classification of education ISCED 2011. The proposed Master's program is new, as there is currently no equivalent program within the Erasmus MUNDUS framework. It is innovative for its novel perspective on economics education, designed to meet contemporary needs. Furthermore, it is uniquely positioned as a high-level integrated program, intending to provide engineering solutions to diverse economic challenges.
