Two papers from my projects in the 19th EAEEIE Annual conferences in Tallinn

The 19th EAEEIE (European Association for Education in Electrical and Information Engineering) Annual Conference is held in Tallinn, Estonia in June 29 – July 24, 2008.

There are two papers from my projects in the 19th EAEEIE Annual conferences in Tallinn.

1) Virtual course “Environmental Issues of Electric and Electronics Industry”, Katri Kesti, Jari Latva-Teikari, Toni Långsjö, Riitta Lehtelä, Leena Korpinen, Tampere University of Technology

The paper presents a virtual course “Environmental Issues of Electric and Electronics Industry”. The aim of the paper is to evaluate the suitability of virtual teaching for this kind of course by analyzing students’ opinions and feedback on the course and its teaching material collected during two courses. The students were asked to give comments every three weeks on a feedback form. According to the feedback, the virtual course was a positive experience, and its material was suitable.

2) “Vaasa Region E-Girls – Education of Electrical Engineering for the Senior Secondary School Students”, Leena Korpinen, Maarit Vesapuisto, Timo Vekara, University of Vaasa and Tampere University of Technology

This paper presents the Vaasa region E-Girls project in which the WWW- course “Electricity, electronics and environment” was further developed for the use of senior secondary school girls in particular. The aim was to pave the way for girls to help them take up studies in technology and consequently seek employment within the technology industry. Local cases were incorporated into the course content. Students’ feedback was quite positive.
