Student Oriented Bachelor Degree Engineering Studies

Abstract

Development of information society is transforming not only business, but all other areas of human activities as well, including science and studies. Probably the greatest advantages of electronic studies are related to the distance studies organisation method, which is constantly becoming more popular due to its flexibility, possibility to study at a convenient time and place. However, variety of tools, used in distance studies, does not determine effective study process itself. It is necessary to have capability to select suitable instruments for the organisation of distance studies, assess possibilities of their use, to be aware of alternative tools, have a clear structural organisation scheme of distance studies, and answer series of related questions. The authors of the article discuss possibilities of increasing efficiency of bachelor’s degree studies by applying methods of distance studies.
