Abstract
The ASE Institute Skopje, Institute of Automation and Computer Based Systems Engineering at EE Faculty of SS Cyril and Methodius University, has had a close collaboration with the respective company of Siemens in Macedonia. In Skopje, for some time the GTZ Centre aimed at enhancing technology transfer has been established. Within its scope and program of activities, we have created a dedicated centre within ASE Institute and developed special courses on PLC based automation in cooperation with the Siemens in Macedonia. In this paper we present our results and the current state of the matters on our special endeavours to contribute to combined knowledge and technology as well as training skills transfer to practicing control engineers in our country. Also, we put forward some recommendations on this trend in the conclusion.
