NEW TRENDS IN TECHNOLOGY AND HIGHER EDUCATION, ENGINEERING TECHNICAL PROFESSIONS (E-LEARNING)

Universities and their faculties and colleges have a very complex function in society today, so it is necessary for them to establish the right balance when executing their tasks. On the other hand, economy has a need and obligation to invest in university educated personnel able to apply and develop new technological achievements. The paper presents new trends in technology and higher education of technical engineers which could be of great importance in future development of distance learning (e-learning). It also underlines the attempt of using the innovative models of work, which are presented and experimentally confirmed, to show a gradual transmission from traditional to a new view to engineering graphics teaching. Statistical analysis of the obtained results has confirmed that a distance learning model in engineering graphics teaching has a statistically relevant effect on teaching efficiency.
