Abstract(s)
Even before the digital era, the implementation of distance learning in higher education was a reality in
many areas. Notwithstanding, the offer of distance higher education courses was not equal in all
knowledge areas due to different teaching and learning requirements. The experimental work
developed during the learning process in engineering areas is widely recognized as essential for
engineering students. However, the remote availableness of this experimental, hands-on, works,
typically done in University laboratories designed according to the different teaching subject
requirements, was nonexistent.
With the advent of remote laboratories, real-time remotely controlled laboratory facilities made
possible by the advancements on the Internet network, this limitation disappeared.
The concept of e-engineering, a merge between the e-learning concept and the remote laboratories,
emerged as a solution to offer distance learning engineering courses without abdicating of the
indispensable practical component of any engineering course.
Two European projects – the Tempus EOLES project and the ERASMUS+ e-LIVES project – try to
bridge the gap between concept and reality by first implementing an accredited higher education
engineering course in Electronics and Optics e-Learning for Embedded Systems and then by
producing a set of guidelines to help others to be autonomous in the creation of their own eengineering
courses.
