If you are interested in becoming an engineer, one of the basic requirements is to take an engineering degree. There are several things you can do to find the right engineering degree school for yourself.

First of all, you will need to choose on the type of program you want to complete. One would be engineering technology, while the other, engineering. The difference is that in engineering technology, there will be more practical and hands-on programs; meanwhile, engineering is more of a theoretical program. With engineering technology, it will take about two years to complete, while engineering will take about four years to complete. If you are interested in working towards an associate degree of science or applied sciences, engineering technology might be more suitable. Nevertheless, in order to choose on this, you could reckon about the type of job you are interested in working as in the future.

After that, you can look for engineering degree schools that are accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). This accreditation indicates that program adheres to the acceptable standards of engineering programs. To find out if a school is accredited by ABET, you can visit the ABET homepage, or you could look out for the ABET logo on a school’s website.

Apart from that, when looking for engineering degree schools, you could pay the schools a visit if possible. It is vital for one to be able to study in an environment they are comfortable with, as well as receive the type of teaching style that suits them so that they can know the hard syllabus well. Some schools may be more competitive than others as well, so you will need to see if that is the kind of atmosphere you want to get into. Do check out their learning resources like library and laboratories, too, if they are up-to-date and complete. You could check out student or school forums to gain insight on these matters if you cannot visit the school itself. Choosing the right engineering school for you will certainly aid you throughout your studies.

This summer school is an academic and cultural event sponsored by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD – Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst) and Technische Universität Dresden, Germany and organized by the Department of Informatics, Faculty of Industrial Technology, Universitas Islam Indonesia.

The Summer School provides a excellent opportunity to learn an in-depth introduction into computational logic and its applications. The school is primarily intended for graduate students and researchers with interests in logical foundations of intelligent systems and related issues. The courses are conducted in English. The number of participants is limited.

Additionally, the participants will be joining LPAR 17, which will be held at the Hyatt hotel, Yogyakarta. LPAR is a prestigious international conference on Logic for Programming, Artificial Intelligence and Reasoning.
School site

The school will take place in the Department of Informatics, Faculty of Industrial Technology, Universitas Islam Indonesia, Jl. Kaliurang Km 14.5, Yogyakarta and the Hyatt hotel, Yogyakarta.

Cultural Program

All students who join LPAR will have the tour program. This tour program will visit the Borobudur temple, the Prambanan temple, and City Sightseeing. Yogyakarta is a tourism destination in Indonesia. The city offers many fascinating tourism objects.

Beside the tour program, such students will also join two dinners with the teachers and the participants of LPAR. The dinner will be held on 10 October 2010 at Warung Pecel Solo and 13 October 2010 at the Pring Sewu. It is huge chance for the students to meet with LPAR participants, who are the fantastic researchers from around the world.
Accommodations

The host organizes a hotel during the summer school. The hotel is in Yogyakarta city such that it makes the participants simple to reach some tourism places. Because of the distance, we provide bus as transportation from the hotel to the school site and the Hyatt hotel.
