The European Project Semester (EPS) is a one semester programme offered by 12 European universities in 10 countries throughout Europe to students who have completed at least two years of study. The concept EPS was created in Denmark by Prof. Arvid Andersen in 1995 with engineering students in mind, but other students who can participate in an engineering project are also welcome. It is crafted to address the design requirements of the degree and prepare engineering students with all the necessary skills to face the challenges of today’s world economy. EPS is a mixture of “Project Related Courses” and project organized/problem based learning. Students work in international and usually interdisciplinary teams of 3–6 students on their projects, and most of the projects are interdisciplinary. Some projects are done in cooperation with commercial businesses and industries, other projects are more academic. Students learn to learn and to take responsability for their learning and their project work and they develop their intercultural competences, their communication skills and their interpersonal skills.
