Abstract

This article examines the comprehensive changes and adjustments made to the Bachelor’s degree program in Electrical and Electronics Engineering (BSc) to align with the growing need for sustainable energy solutions. The primary objective of these revisions is to equip future engineers with a deep understanding of both traditional fossil energy sources and emerging renewable energy technologies, with a particular emphasis on smart grids. The revamped curriculum integrates advanced content delivery through a unique blend of professional laboratories, in-person lectures, discussions with industry experts, and online courses. By providing a holistic educational experience, the program aims to prepare graduates to lead the transition towards sustainable energy systems, fostering innovation and resilience in the energy sector.
