Hiltunen, J.; Heikkinen, E.-P.; Jaako, J.; Ahola, J. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2011
The paper presents a new approach for a bachelor-level curriculum structure in engineering. The approach is called DAS formalism according to its three phases: description, analysis and synthesis. Although developed specifically for process and environmental engineering, DAS formalism has a generic nature and it could also be used in other…
