Abstract | ||
| During the last decades, multiple international curricular joint ventures have been implemented not only in Europe and the US, but also in many other places all over the world. These initiatives have encompassed universities, corporations, non-profit or non-governmental organizations and have been attempted to teach diverse areas of knowledge. Despite the fact these initiatives have been increasing during the last years, this increment has not been as intense neither in the US nor in Latin America as in other places, i.e. Europe. This paper shows a proposed joint program between the US and Latin American universities to teach a Master in Civil Engineering. | ||
