Abstract

The rapid technology development in the electrical engineering requires to promote life long learning concept in practice. The industrial needs and future carrier perspectives are not limited to the college or university degree for electrical engineers. The sharing of advanced research results, the development IT platform for education allows to achieve sufficient methodological base for engineers training at all stages of career. The case study of the Institute of Industrial Electronics and Electrical Engineering (IEEI) of Riga Technical University is discussed in this paper.
