Abstract
The application of e – learning approach for electrical engineers could be beneficial for all types of graduates. The specific models of 3D virtual laboratories are proposed as a pre standard tool for e-learning of electrical engineers. Effective integration of 3D virtual laboratories into education process will bring benefits to higher education, as for vocational as for standard academic programs. The simple embedding of 3D virtual laboratories in education and training systems will make high quality trainings possible from distance for university branches as well. The common education programs and courses, developed in cooperation with several partners are the steps forward to international education programs as well as quality standards of e-learning for electrical engineers. The same tool will bring benefits in education of experienced engineers it terms of lifelong learning education concept. The application of Project-based learning methodology is widely used in specific education courses in Riga Technical University study program of “control of electrical technologies”. The application of “Kolb’s experiential learning theory” represents sufficiently the educational cycle for case of synthesis of new technology.
