Project Summary

Egypt is experiencing a transition from production-based economies to ones based on knowledge and information. This transition changed the nature of jobs and the required skills. Competing in this global economy requires a science and engineering workforce that is consistently at the technological forefront. So, EG should examine the extent to which their current workforce meets their needs for human capital.The wider objective of this project is Bridging the qualification gap of professional engineers in EG with the EU standards The project aims to develop a LLL framework and four e-Lifelong learning centers (e-LLC) in four different EG universities to create progressively evolution from establishing of framework to develop actions and connections with engineering communityThe Specific objectives of the project are:1. Defining the qualification gap between Egyptian engineering and the labor market2. Developing of an innovative LLL framework in partner universities3. Establishing of four professional e- Lifelong Learning training Centers (e-LLC)4. Developing an online Learning Management System (LMS)The engineering profession must revisit and update its mindset and adopt a new mission statement – to contribute to build of a more sustainable, stable, and equitable world. Engineers must adopt a completely innovative attitude toward natural and cultural systems and reconsider interactions between engineering disciplines and nontechnical fields.The project will be carried out to reach the following outputs1. EU experiences benchmarking in (3) engineering disciplines2. Gap analysis report & EU Best practice manuals3. Lifelong Learning framework and Professional standards4. Training Course Contents and Materials5. Training Program (4 training Modules)6. Four E-Lifelong Learning Centers7. Online Learning Management System8. Recognition Process and measures & Pilot implementation,
