eLearning Master in Water Resources Engineering
ERASMUS+ CBHE project
eLearning Master in Water Resources Engineering
The eMWRE will implement an innovative eMaster in water resources to modernize the education using innovative technology and advanced tools to provide more sustainable solutions to the water scarcity problems in the MENA region. The project also aims at developing an eLearning platform to promote joint research, develop and educate on Open Source Software and Open Access data for Integrated Water Resources Management.
The
major outcomes of eMWRE are the development of an eLearning MSc. program in
Water Resources Engineering (WRE), a set of professional eTraining modules and
eLearning platform for water resources management and open software tools. The
master programme will be implemented in the four Partners universities (two in
Palestine and two in Jordan), where the curriculum, eCourses, and eTraining
modules will be developed jointly by the project consortium. The project will
contribute to the capacity development of water sector and open education in
partners countries to advance their economy and social welfare. At the same
time, aim of the project is to promote socially-equitable and gender-balanced
access to education.
