The PENS project seeks to build capacities to develop a new curricula in enterprise systems engineering as a new undergraduate program, using a student-centred adaptive learning approach based on the bologna processes. The project will develop 8 courses in total and four tutorials. Also it promote entrepreneurship education. These new Pathway in Enterprise systems engineering will be deployed at the four participating partner universities, two in Palestine (P4: AQU, P5:BZU) and two in Tunisia (P7:US, P8:UM). The uniqueness of this approach, that to meet the multidisciplinary needs of the two domains (engineering and system thinking), it will develop an innovative user-centred adaptive learning to create a new curricula and enable the four universities to implement developed program within their degrees addressing variations, yet meeting their own specified key learning outcomes. The importance of enterprise systems engineering to be part of the undergraduate training as integral part of their educational skills, is critical to advance the ICT sector towards evidence-based practices, in the region, which is currently developing. These skills are essential to solidify the deeper understanding of the value and importance of enterprise engineering not only to their specialty, but also their profession, work and practice. They will promote the uptake and implementation of enterprise system engineering to become essential part of their profession as enabling mechanisms to improve the quality of ICT. Thus one key objective of PENS is to develop capacity of members of faculty in enterprise systems engineeing and create undergraduate program to ensure sustainability and lasting impact.

Water is the most valuable and rare resource in the Middle East. The potential climate change impacts in the region require the new generation of water managers to learn and utilize new and innovative methods and techniques to achieve sustainability. In addition there is a significant gap between the learning skills of graduates from the HEIs and what the companies and enterprises want. To alleviate this gap, firstly a Network with water professionals (HEIS and enterprises) will be established for the Middle East. This network will provide feedback on the new state of the art courses that will be developed and taught in Partner Country HEIs to enhance the knowledge, tools and skills of the graduates and increase their attractiveness to enterprises. These courses will incorporate the latest and newest technologies on water management. Enterprises will be integrated in the courses by having students solve real-life water case studies provided by enterprises, with seminars by water professionals and practical placement to promote entrepreneurship. The courses will utilize new pedagogical approaches with interactive exercises, use of videos, social networks, flexible learning path, blended courses etc. to enhance learning capacities. The courses will be available on a virtual learning portal thus providing them also by distance learning and enhancing their accessibility. Establishing a distance-learning program is essential for this region because of the frequent instability that makes it impossible to always attend classes. The languages of the courses will be Arabic and English so they could be adopted by other Mediterranean countries. The project is very collaborative and international since it has 13 partners from 6 countries. The new teaching approaches and state of the art courses will train science-based water management graduates with the necessary tools to significantly increase their employability leading to more sustainable water management in the region.

One major problem that the current education system in Palestine faces is the gap between academia and the private sector. Employees very often complain about the skills acquired by new graduates, that is not sufficient for the requirements of the labor market.Several studies have claimed that e-learning has become more equitable for people with disabilities as it connects them anywhere and anytime and it can be dealt with according to their needs and how it is suited for them. There is a general agreement on the major advantages of E-learning and ICT. We envisage the solution will not only be by redesigning the content, changing the method of teaching or changing the assessment methods, but the change must include various and multiple aspects. The core structural pieces (learning environments, content, teaching methodologies) must be joined side by side to close the gap. The content must be developed by experts with a diversity of interest and harmonious approach, the method of teaching must be participatory and the responsibility for the learning process must be shared by the participants (the learner, the academic, and the employer). If these pieces are brought together in a single building block that has been enabled and strengthened with the help of external experts. Our proposed project aims to develop flipped Practical courses VIA triple environment by Triple Experts Teams, and to train a team of trainers (TOT) through Triple Enhance programs using flipped approach VIA Triple Environment (3EEE)In this project we aim to provide the following to cater for the needs addressed in this study:-Pilot a number of Flipped courses VIA Triple learning Environment-Train a team of trainers about the concept and the use of flipped approach VIA triple Learning Environment-Enhance the current learning platforms to host developed Flipped courses and Modules.-Develop and accredit Triple Enhance Program-Disseminate the experience to other universities

This project proposes the development of an MSc degree program that covers the core and new trends in Health Informatics (HI) and incorporate expertise at EU institutions and six MENA universities. The program will use modern learning and research approaches to support the program curriculum on new HI trends. Improving the efficiency of the care process, and enhancing the quality and outcome of medical treatment are underlying themes of the master program in HI. The biomedical informatics field was defined as spanning the subfields of bioinformatics (molecular and cellular processes); imaging informatics (tissues and organ systems); clinical informatics (individuals and patients) and public health informatics (populations and society). The last two subfields, clinical informatics and public health informatics together comprise health informatics, and are at the heart of our envisioned program. Our proposed curriculum will focus on:-Clinical tasks – in particular, medical decision-making pertaining to prevention, diagnosis, treatment and follow up and the required support from information systems – as well as patient-related issues;-Healthcare organisation and processes - in particular, the use of information technology in structuring and organising patient-care processes (care-chain logistics).The program will provide preliminaries; foundations (such as quality of care based on clinical registries; terminology systems; and Evaluation and Usability); and emerging technologies (such as Decision Support Systems; eHealth; and Big data analytics). The program objectives are to meet the growing demand for skills pertaining to solving information-related problems and to tackle the problem of lack of job readiness of (IT) graduates entering the healthcare sector. Bringing together the various institutions will facilitate arriving at the definition of the precise program goals and the learning outcomes.
