The application of a system for quality management to the educational re-organization of Chemical Engineering curricula at the University of Salerno

The application of the Bologna agreement in Italy has brought to much wider autonomy of the faculties in the organization of the degree courses. This has corresponded to heavier didactic management problem and has stimulated the Italian Conference of University Rectors (CRUI) to support a specific project (CampusOne) to develop more structured organization in the faculties managing the degree course. The instrument used in this course was the implementation of a system for quality management. This paper reports on the experience done in this framework by the group (ADIC) in the Engineering Faculty of the University of Salerno managing the Chemical Engineering degree courses. The advantages and the problem arisen in the application of this system are also discussed.
