Abstract

The Erasmus Lifelong Learning Programme “SALEIE” (Strategic Alignment of Electrical and Information Engineering in European Higher Education Institutions) project brings together a group of European universities experts aiming to provide higher education models in the EIE (Electrical and Information Engineering) disciplines that can respond to the key global technical challenges. One of the outcomes of the above mentioned project is related to a new Renewable Energy curriculum. In its early stage the SALEIE project identified the global technical challenges the EIE higher education may face nowadays. A survey of existing EIE programmes in the key challenge areas has been released and their results have been discussed during the workshops. The industry feedback related to the required EIE technical and non- technical skills has been fed within the project deliverables and finally two new proposed curricula on Renewable Energy (RE) and Information and Computer Technology (ICT) Security saw the daylight. This paper presents the main findings and steps which have been taken in order to propose a new Renewable Energy curriculum aiming to respond to actual global technical challenges.
