“Modernizing Undergraduate Renewable Energy Education: EU Experience
for Jordan”, MUREE, is TEMPUS project number
530332-TEMPUS-1-2012-1-JO-TEMPUS-JPCR, approved by the European
Commission under grant agreement number 2012-3324/001-001.
The wider objective of MUREE is to develop, integrate, accredit and
evaluate a quality bachelor degree programme in Renewable Energy in
Jordan with an appropriate laboratory component jointly taught by
universities in Jordan, in accordance with the Bologna process. This
would ensure that universities in Jordan are placed in a position to
offer quality education compatible with European standards and meets
socio-economic needs of the emerging knowledge-based society by
strengthening renewable energy teaching in order to graduate
professional leaders who can meet market needs of the country. Its
direct aim is to enhance the capacity and enable Jordanian partner
universities to develop sustainable renewable energy bachelor
programmes with state-of-of-the-art educational technologies. MUREE
will thus contribute to a sustainable outcome that will promote
curriculum reform in engineering education and leave a longer-term
legacy for Jordanian universities.
Activities, Progress and Outcomes
