Training microsystems technologies in an European eLearning environment

The paper presents the ongoing activities within an European project for development of eLearning courses in microsystem technologies. It is a two-year project within the Leonardo da Vinci programme and the partners are from small and medium enterprises in microelectronics, training organizations and universities from four European countries — Romania, Bulgaria, France and Germany. The project is aimed at implementation of innovative approaches for performance- centred learning and development of new instruments in instructional design of task-performance-centred courses for education in Microsystems design and technology.
