Title
e-LIVES – Extending e-Engineering Along the South and Eastern Mediterranean Basin
Abstract
The number of students in the higher education system in South and Eastern Mediterranean Basin countries more than doubled in the last 15 years [1]. This positive step forward creates important difficulties for universities forced to handle overcrowded classes. In STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) related courses, one promising solution involves the development of accredited e-engineering courses, as a very convenient and efficient way of dealing with the constantly surging number of students. The e-LIVES (e-Learning InnoVative Engineering Solutions) project, a recently approved Erasmus+ program project whose consortium includes European Institutions of higher education from France, Portugal, Belgium and Spain, and from the South and Eastern Mediterranean Basin, Algeria, Jordan, Morocco, and Tunisia, aims to address the problem by providing solutions based on e-engineering. Profiting from the experience gained with the EOLES (Electronics and Optics e-Learning for Embedded Systems) course, a fully online e-engineering third-year accredited Bachelor degree course, the long-lasting result of a previous TEMPUS program project, the EOLES project [2], the consortium hopes to provide the knowledge and the tools needed for partner countries to become autonomous in the development and accreditation of their own e-engineering courses.
