E-Leadership university programmes -1
case history
• E-leadership
– leadership vs e-competence
– non-ICT curricula
• The computer engineering degree
• A master degree in Computer Engineering:
– track: Services Engineering
– macroclass LM-32 – Ingegneria Informatica
E-Leadership university programmes -2
Self-Assessment results
• Matched against profile:
Business and Enterprise Architecture
• For a bachelor
“Computer Science” (Engineering) degree,
a much more sparse matrix
E-Leadership university programmes -3
Conclusions
• “competence based” framework (eCFx.0)
• Curricula design: on the basis of “learning
outcomes”
• knowledge “basic blocks” (core & specialized)
• Open issue: which are the “basic blocks” for
successfull “competence” development ?
• ICT and non-ICT curricula
