Wider objective of the BECK project – to upgrade the curricula with 16 new harmonized multidisciplinary adaptive MOOC modules on environmental protection technology in the Russian, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh universities in order to increase their capacity to continually modernise, enhance the quality and relevance of education of students to the global market needs and to ensure international cooperation. Project aims to:1. Upgrade curricula of BSc/specialists, MSc and PhD programmes in Russian, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh universities by adding 16 new multidisciplinary adaptive, recognised and certificated MOOC modules on consumer behavior related to energy efficiency and climate change;2. Transfer European practices in education (learning and teaching tools, methodologies and pedagogical approaches including learning outcomes and ICT-based practices) from participating EU universities to PC universities;3. Assist competence development of teachers within PC universities;4. Develop the Simulated Big Data Interuniversity Networked Affective Educational Centre to encourage use of ICT-based methodologies in education and research;5. Strengthen educational and scientific networking among EU and PC universities in the BECK field. The PC and EU students will profit from high quality international and multidisciplinary modules with real world positioning indicating how to employ theory in the real world. BECK project will offer adaptive certified MOOCs aimed at unlimited participation and open access via the Centre in response to the lack of knowledge in climate change and energy savings across PC countries.Seminars, round tables and national and international conferences will reach PC learners and stakeholders to notify them about the accessibility of BECK modules and the Centre. Associations will participate in this project by transferring their contemporary labor market experiences and assisting with applicable BECK case studies.

"According to the action plan of EU concerning energetic efficiency, EU must reduce electric consumption by 20% and increase renewable energies by 20%. RF, UZ and MN were developed their economies mainly due to oil and gas production. However, in response to the crisis these countries manifest their strong interest in the construction of smart homes and cities for energy saving and improving the quality of life of urban residents. They approved the National Programmes in the field of renewable energy up to 2020. The analysis of the enterprises needs concerning recruitment of engineers in the sector of the technical building management in RF,UZ and MN showed that electrical or automation engineers only partially meet the needs of market. Smart Houses and Smart Cities require interdisciplinary competencies and leading skills.Thus the project is aimed to update and quality increase the curricula (BA&MA) in sphere of High-Tech Green Buildings and Smart Cities in RF, MN and UZ to meet the needs of sustainable development in a global world.New interdisciplinary model of engineers training and two cycles (MA, BA) of competence-based curricula will be created as the project result. The necessary infrastructure - Network ""Green Buildings"" will be carried out. Developed curricula and courses will allow growing R&D engineers with strong interdisciplinary skills: electronic-automation and computer from one side and energy and thermal of the building on the other part. They will be able to analyze the problem and find innovative solutions.This BA and MA programmes brings together students from different fields to study in interdisciplinary teams that increases understanding of different backgrounds and offers students opportunities to collaborate with research projects and companies. Students receive a wide conceptual design skills and it greatly increases employment opportunities."
