- 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.
