    • Abstract:
      When Spain joined the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) it implied the reorganization of curricula and led to a new education model. Due to the controversies arising from this adaptation the objective of the study is to find out the satisfaction of teachers towards this process. Participants were made up of 1,842 Engineering and Architecture teachers from Spanish public universities. A survey was used which was formulated ad hoc and made up of questions about the level of satisfaction on different aspects of the EHEA. In total, 55% have found it easy to adapt to the EHEA. However, 46% thought that measures were not being implemented correctly and 48% doubted that the reform is positive for the university. The implementation limitations detected and the possible solutions can be used as a guide to establish effective education policies which can help to improve teaching and research quality.

    • Abstract:
      La adhesión al Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior (EEES) implicó en España una reorganización de los planes de estudio y el impulso de un nuevo paradigma educativo. Esta adaptación genera grandes controversias, por ello, el objetivo del estudio fue conocer la satisfacción del profesorado hacia este proceso. Los participantes fueron 1.842 profesores de Ingeniería y Arquitectura de universidades públicas españolas. Se les aplicó una encuesta elaborada ad hoc formada por preguntas sobre el grado de satisfacción hacia diferentes aspectos del EEES. Al 55% le ha resultado fácil adaptarse al EEES. Sin embargo, el 46% piensa que la aplicación de las medidas no se está desarrollando de forma correcta. Asimismo, el 48% tiene dudas de que la reforma sea positiva para la universidad. Las limitaciones de la implantación detectadas y las posibles soluciones que se revelan sirven de guía para el establecimiento de políticas educativas eficaces que ayuden a mejorar la calidad de la docencia y la investigación.
