The education of electrical engineers is popular subject in universities curricula’s as in Europe, as worldwide. The methodological approach and needed qualification is standardized in national level, however the technological development level and carrier perspectives requires mutual recognition of education between counties. This article aimed to collect the best practice and experience of Riga Technical University in creation of curricula for electrical engineers in the frame of TEMPUS, Erasmus, DAAD and several bilateral agreements. The ways how to create compatible curricula for student training and its carrier development are discussed. The development e – learning methods and special virtual laboratories, as well as using e – learning platforms Moodle and Blackboard, its advantages and disadvantages are analyzed. The recommendations towards mutual recognition and voluntary standardization of education approaches for electrical engineers are offered.

Keywords
Mutual recognition, voluntary standardization, education of electrical engineers, e – learning platforms, curricula for electrical engineers.
