Symposium Extra Skills for Young Engineers 2000
IEEE Student Branch Maribor, Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, University of Maribor organised international symposium "Extra skills for young engineers" in October 2000. I was Chair of the conference and Editor of symposium proceedings. The symposium included lectures over teleconference (ISDN ind IP) and was broadcasted live on the Internet.
The process of globalization and fast development of new technologies demands extra skills from young engineers that are not part of their studies. It is very important that students realize that fact as soon as possible. The goal of symposium was to increase awareness of students about the needs of the industry and extra skills that it requires from a young engineer. We had invited speakers from IEEE, industry and academia.
