ENGINE “Engineering curricula modernization in renewable energy in Albanian Universities”
Ref. No. 619338-EPP-1-2020-1-AL-EPPKA2-CBHE-JP
ENGINE – “Engineering curricula modernization in renewable energy in Albanian Universities”, co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union and led by Polytechnic University brings together 11 partners. The project aim is the modernization and internationalization of VET and Bachelor curricula in Engineering for Renewable Energies in the targeted universities in Albania through innovation of curricula in line with the new development in the area and the labor market demand. The use of renewable energy sources and the improvement of energy efficiency ensures a sustainable economy based on the conditions of scientific development. In order to meet all national objectives and obligations set by the EU for member states, but also for candidate countries (such as Albania), it is necessary to raise awareness of the younger generation on the use of RES, improve energy efficiency, design curricula and upgrading existing ones, training academic staff and building laboratories, expanding the network of collaboration with International Higher Education Institutions for the recognition and implementation of modern energy technologies.
Project Purpose
The ENGINE project aims to adapt, modernize and restructure existing engineering curricula in renewable energy that perfectly fits into the development strategies of Albania in curriculum modernization of engineering education.
Its specific objectives are:
- To analyze the educational needs in
engineering for renewable energies through problem and job analysis, and to
define the necessary knowledge, skills and competencies of engineers in the
sector of renewable energies in terms of learning outcomes.
- To design syllabi and course content and
assessment for compulsory and elective courses in VET and bachelor engineering
education for renewable energy to meet the market needs and upgrade the
university academic offer accordingly.
- To develop new e-learning courses with modular
structure for the innovated curricula of Partner HEIs and to establish a
platform for knowledge sharing between Albanian HEIs and program partner
institutions.
- To
innovate the laboratory equipment and to perform a pilot test and to start the
implementation of the joint modules/courses’ delivery during the last project
year.
