About the ECE School
The ECE School is an integral part of the educational development, research and learning at KTH. The ECE School will conduct its own education programmes and courses, carry out research and provide support for both education and research for the other KTH schools. The contemporary library and the forward-thinking learning are the starting points for the formation of the ECE School.
KTH Library
The library provides primarily a range of quality support processes for research and education, based on the library's main process which is scientific information supply. The library is perceived as "the academy's core" - a physical and virtual meeting place - where students, teachers and researchers are offered access to knowledge and information. The modern library, with all its various activities, will always be a natural first stop for anyone visiting KTH. By gathering the support processes and integrate them into the ECE School, KTH has laid the foundation for the development of the modern library. We will now expand these processes both to the physical and the virtual library resources.
Forward-thinking Learning
Forward-thinking learning refers to the ECE School's mission to support and streamline the teaching at KTH and to be responsible for building a first-class technological education for secondary school teachers. The ECE School will actively participate in the evaluation of the KTH courses and play a dynamic role in improving education and learning environments. One of the cornerstones is to develop the teaching role and competence of KTH's teachers. The learning environment can also be developed by proven methods in distance and online teaching, online coaching and through enhanced ICT support.
All activities at the ECE School should have an academic basis. The school's research must be done in the field of Education and Communication in Engineering Sciences. The structure of research is established both by recruiting our own researchers but also by sharing services with the other Schools at KTH and in collaboration with other universities. To connect with established research environments is an effective way to lay the foundation for our own research at the ECE School. The results of our research will then quickly be integrated into all of KTH's activities.
Collaboration is now an integral part of research and education at a university. The ECE School interacts extensively with youth education, business, community and other universities. Through collaborative, online teaching and other network services this interaction will only increase. The development in this field in coming years will be important not only for the development of the ECE School but also for the Royal Institute of Technology.
