“Study interest frustrated” “Universities full, interest empty” “Companies need better employees” “Universities need better researchers” “Many options, quick decision” “Do I have enough maturity to choose?” “Salaries decreasing” “Failing rates reach more than 90%” “Responsibilities increasing”

IEEE Education Society takes care of it!

Education Research Project - volunteer project - volunteer project - computational simulation programs - computational simulation programs - psychological survey to trace the better approach - psychological survey to trace the better approach - weekly extra-classes - weekly extra-classes going back to 2004… Results Failing students reduction!
