<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Polytechnic University of Tirana (PUT) is a public academic\ninstitution and the only Polytechnic University in Albania. It has been founded\nin 1951 under the name of Higher Polytechnic Institute. PUT nowadays provides\nstudy programmes in the three study cycles and it is composed of 7 Faculties\nand 1 Research Scientific Institute. Polytechnic University of Tirana, in all\nmain units and base units (departments), has records of partnership agreements\nwith foreign higher education institutions through participation in scientific\nresearch projects with foreign universities. It aims the expansion of\ncooperation and improvement of scientific research results quality. We have\nreceived financial support from several EU Grants like: Horizon 2020, EC COST \/\nCOST NESUS, Erasmus Mundus (Euroweb+), Erasmus FETCH, and KA1 Erasmus +\nProgramme with many European countries. The Polytechnic University of Tirana\nhas national collaboration agreements with many partners such as institutions\nor faculties according to the respective agreements on study programmes and\nscientific research for their improvement and adaptation with the needs of the\nlabor market in Albania. Being part of many international projects, the\nPolytechnic University of Tirana itself has a series of agreements with\ninternational counterpart institutions in accordance with the national and\ninternational format. Power System Department as part of Faculty of Electrical\nEngineering at Polytechnic University of Tirana is one of the oldest\ndepartments of the faculty. The teaching and Research activities  of\nElectric Power System Department includes Power System Stability and Control,\nModeling and Simulation of Power System, Renewable Energies Sources, Power\nPlants, Power System Reliability Analysis, Smart grids and intelligent use of\nenergy, Isolation and electrical materials, Electric equipment, Forecasting and\npricing of Energy, Relay devices and monitoring of power system, Energy\nEfficiency, Etc. The Department is responsible for development and improvement\nof teaching curricula for Electrical Power System Studies with the symbiosis of\neducation and research as well as for optimal integration into the labour\nmarket. The curricula and teaching policies are increasingly focusing on the\nanalytical, methodological, conceptual and communicational skills which will\nenable a university graduate to adapt to power sectors challenges and be\ninnovative throughout his or her carrier. The degrees offered by Electric Power\nSystem Department, part of Electrical Engineering Faculty are as following:\n1)Bachelor in Electric Engineering- Electric Power System profile; 2)Master of\nScience in Electric Engineering- Electric Power System profile; 3)Master\nProfessional in Electric Power System.  With the skills acquired during\nthe academic years, our students have the opportunity to be employed in public\nor private companies\/institutions where the demand for Electric Power System\nspecialists is quite high. The academic staff and PhD students of department\nwas involved in several national and international research contracts. <\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>

Role of the University in this project<\/span><\/u><\/strong> PUT is Project leader of the consortium responsible for the\noverall project implementation, for monitoring of the project execution and\nreporting to the EACEA. PUT is the Lead Partner of the Management WP and\nprovides substantial support to all other WP leaders and partners. As Project\nleader we will provide the necessary input needed for success in terms of human\nresources (staff qualification and experience, students involvement, networking\nwith third parties if needed) and physical resources (data, legislation, etc.)\nfor achieving project goals at its highest levels. Furthermore, PUT will\nparticipate to all other WPs implementation transferring the knowhow gained\nthrough its extensive experience in the fields of Electric Power System\neducation and research. PUT takes active part and contribute substantially in\nthe preparation of the report for Albania and partner HEIs, in respect of\nmarket analysis, preparation of questionnaire and identifications of target\ngroups subjects of interviews, preparation of competence matrix report, report\non learning outcomes for bachelor, preparation of new and updated study\nprograms as part of WP1. PUT takes active part and contribute essentially in\nthe updated BSc Programmes and partner HEIs, preparation of accreditation documents\nas part of WP2. The laboratories of PUT will be upgraded with new equipment for\npractical work of students and development and delivery of ICT-based materials.\nPUT takes active part and contribute substantially in the BSc e-learning\ncourses developed, laboratory course material developed and preparation of\nnecessary information for ENGINE On-line platform as part of WP3. Teachers will\nbe trained on new teaching methodologies and pedagogical approaches with the\nuse of learning outcomes and on the development of e-learning materials. PUT\ntakes active part contribute substantially in the preparation of Evaluation\nPlan and Interim and final Evaluation Reports as part of WP4 with the aim to\nensure high quality of deliverables of the project PUT takes active part\ncontribute substantially in the preparation of the Dissemination and\nExploitation Strategy plan, the preparation of  Scientific Papers and\nENGINE conference as part of WP5 in order to contribute to increase the number\nof beneficiaries and to assure the sustainability of the achieved Project<\/span>
