Master Degree in Innovative Technologies in Energy Efficient Buildings for Russian & Armenian Universities and Stakeholders – “MARUEEB”

Project time period:

2015-2018

Project Description:

Per agreement with EU coordinating partner, AUA has reformed the Master’s in Industrial Engineering and Systems Management (IESM) program instead of creating a new study program. Through MARUEEB, IESM developed and established a specialization called Sustainable Operations and Resource Management (SORM), which students can complete as part of their graduate studies. In addition, SORM will be available as a professional certificate program open to qualified alumni and professionals. The project objectives were:

– To establish and develop a new Master on «INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES in ENERGY EFFICIENT BUILDINGS» for 3 Russian Universities and 2 Armenian Universities with affiliation to other 2 Russian Universities, according to student-centred or output-based approach.

– To strengthen links with stakeholders by means of their involvement both in training and in getting requirements and documentation for professional recognition of the new qualification of Green Master.

– Bringing the curricular reform in line with the latest Bologna Process elements (transparency, comparability and national & international recognition of the study-programs).
– To focus the teaching processes on new methods such as interdisciplinary and interactions forms of lectures and seminars.

– To provide collaborative teaching, mobility and scientific research, attracting associate member of the consortium.
