How to adapt the electronics packaging teaching process to current needs -a perspective

The new higher learning educational system in Romanian Universities divided into three main stages of bachelor, master and doctoral degrees demands a new approach which must take into consideration the common ground of different higher learning systems, the specific characteristics of the pre-university learning system and the local particularities of the regional and national electronic industry's environment. A classification of competencies required for the alumni in every stage of education, illustrating the very means of implementing these competencies at the level of electronic packaging education, is proposed. Statistical data results are presented from the training process of the 2002-2003 year of study, where the results were obtained by applying the proposed methods without an effective enrolment in the forthcoming new educational system.
