The e-LIVES Project: e-Engineering Where and When Students Need

Students’ engagement in their learning process is essential for its success. However, many factors out of students’ control may impair their learning process leading to demotivation and studies abandonment. Some of these factors are related to low economic conditions. Even in developed countries, higher education is concentrated in medium and large cities, which forces many countryside students into expensive temporary relocations if they want to pursue their studies. The same happens when the existing offer does not match the student’s preferences. The problem is even more acute in developing countries where the offer is reduced, and the economic conditions of students are even worse, with many being forced to work from a young age. For these students, the flexibility provided by e-Engineering courses may be the answer to their otherwise bare chances of achieving a higher education degree. In this paper, we present the e-LIVES – e-Learning InnoVative Engineering Solutions project, whose aim is to document a set of good practices, following a hands-on approach, to help Universities to build innovative e-Engineering courses by themselves in a sustainable way.
