Adaptation of Electrical Engineering Education to the COVID-19 Situation: Method and Results

In this paper are presented a new extended methodology and tools for providing electrical engineering education in a distant form. It was used by two Bulgarian universities, in order to adapt their Electrical engineering classes to the COVID-19 situation. The methodology includes several phases: needs analysis, preparation of educational materials, selection of teaching methods, increasing competencies and selection of assessment methods. In the results of the paper is presented the implementation of the methodology based on the EVEEE environment for electrical engineering equipment. At the end of the semester a questionnaire was conducted among the students. The results about the students' opinion clearly indicate that engineering education should be implemented in a distant form only during emergency situations.
