Student Engagement in Cross-Domain Innovation Development and Its Impact on Learning Outcomes and Career Development in Electrical Engineering

Education of students in electrical engineering must provide learning outcomes and enable the engineer of electrical engineering to work in the industry and use modern technological equipment with sophisticated automated electrotechnical equipment. Moreover, the learning process and its outcomes should provide students with the skills needed and appropriate for companies producing electrical, electronic and electromechanical equipment, including design, research and consulting. Due to this, the aim of this paper is to present an approach for efficient composition of lectures, practical work and individual work by correlating the different learning methodologies (like Problem-based learning) with mentoring process based on the design of prototypes. Such concept serves as a result of industry and academia collaboration and gives a new approach for the development of study programs based on future societal needs. The case study of electrical engineers' education on undergraduate and master level is presented in this paper as well.
