Modern techniques and alternatives for generative learning applied in engineering education [articol]

Abstract

The unprecedented, aggressive institutional competition and quickly changing students instructional expectations make it clear that we are assisting to a new phase in higher education. The engineering domains must fulfill specific needs for developing intuitive and easy-to-use teaching and learning instruments. In this paper, the authors outline the necessity to engage the students into an interactive learning process, generative of knowledge. Course-management tools and efficient instruments allowing to the teachers to build online course material, adjusted to specific and local students’ needs, appear as necessary in assisting of this objective.
