The paper presents the results of a pilot project aiming at proposing a sector-specific quality system that can complement the existing national or European accreditation systems, providing added value to the internal and/or external quality assurance processes that are in place in most EU Universities. In particular, the proposed system implies a site visit from a group of peers to crosscheck and validate the data and documents prepared for the degree course under evaluation. The results of the implementation of this procedure on 8 Universities are discussed on the basis of the feedback provided, in order to assess the usefulness of the process as perceived by the provider of the aerospace degree.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
