Research challenges for eLearning support in engineering and management training

This paper analyzes the need for advanced/innovative eLearning type of products intended for lifelong learning and teaching in the engineering and management field. This field is relatively new in Romania and needs modern educational techniques in order to improve the efficiency and quality of graduates for a fast integration in the labour market. The objective of eLearning is to train human resources for education and to raise the quality of student training which will lead to the rise of hiring potential and workplace integration. This raises many challenges and requires studies of national and international interest, training research methodology, and laboratory connections to research centres and networks.
