Abstract
The talk presents the ECMI educational system implemented at
the ECMI partner universities. It consists of a to year master
programme with the two branches Technomathematics and Economathematics.
Technomathematics addresses students interested in modelling of
technical, physical, chemical and biological systems. The course content
consists of modelling seminars and introduction to technomathematics.
Ordinary and partial differential equations are main ingredients
together with scientific computing. Furthermore there are courses in
optimization and statistics. The Economathematics branch focuses on
computational methods for economics, discrete mathematics, optimization,
statistics and differential equations.
Beside courses in industrial and applied mathematics the students must
spent one semester abroad at an ECMI partner university, emphasizing
the international aspect of the education. The students must participate
in one ECMI Modelling Week where the students work on industrial problems
suitable for mathematical modelling. The Modelling Weeks are concluded by
oral presentations and written reports for the Modelling Week proceedings.
Finally, the students are required to make a master thesis project on
an industrial/economic problem, preferably in direct contact with a
company. Based on a review of the master thesis, ECMI certificates are
issued.
