“…In addition, the current guidelines for RES courses are fragmented in terms of design, teaching, and evaluation, which is clearly detrimental to the overall development of RES education [6,20,46]. Therefore, it is particularly important to develop a set of standardized RES courses with reference value.…”

This paper aims to explore a student-oriented curriculum model on Renewable Energy Sources (RES), since RES is an important solution to the energy problem, and training talents with relevant skills and qualities has become a key part of our overall energy strategy. Based on Taylor Principle and PDCA Cycle Theory (Plan, Do, Check, Act), this paper proposed a “Student-centered Inquiry” RES course model together with three reference templates for the design, teaching, and evaluation processes of the course. This dissertation conducted a case study on 27 students from China University of Petroleum (East China), and the primary purpose of the study was to find out how changes in the curriculum could affect the learning effects of both high achievement students and low achievement students. By adopting the paired T-test and independent T-test, the results indicated that: (a) There was a relationship between the new curriculum model and the students’ academic performance, (b) the improvement in low-achievement students was more significant than in high-achievement students, and (c) the new curriculum model has positive effects on students in terms of knowledge transfer, methodology, reductionism, and consciousness formation. In view of the limitations of current RES related education in universities, these results can be used as templates to improve the quality of RES education.

“…Египет ставит задачу добиться выработки более 40% энергии за счет других возобновляемых источников -ветровых и гидроэлектростанций (IRENA, 2018). Внедрение новых технологий сдерживается нехваткой компетенций среди политиков, специалистов по планированию проектов и потенциальных пользователей (Havila et al, 2014;Kimuli et al, 2017).…”

“…Based on the high potential of renewable energy sources, Egypt aims to achieve more than 40% of its energy generation from other sources in this category -wind and hydroelectric power plants (IRENA, 2018). The introduction of new technologies is hampered by the lack of competence among policy makers, project planners and potential users (Havila et al, 2014;Kimuli et al, 2017). Modern educational programs in Egypt are mostly focused on academic research rather than on the practical aspects of power system design and operation.…”

Foresight projects are expected to provide realistic scenarios for different future scenarios, which provides a better information base for relevant strategies. However, these expectations often turn out to be at least difficult to fulfill due to the uncertainty of the external environment and cognitive biases. Therefore, the idea of assessing each stage of Foresight is gaining relevance, which is of particular importance in the energy sector, which affects a variety of areas of life. This article analyzes the results of the Egyptian energy foresight study, Egypt LEAPS, in terms of process efficiency and forecast accuracy as well as the factors that influenced it, including cognitive biases. The authors conclude that for each stage of foresight, a thorough analysis of weaknesses and shortcomings is necessary. Therefore, from the very beginning, the foresight process should include reliable mechanisms for assessing results and a readiness for constant iterations. Consistent process adjustments that rely on new ways of dealing with complexity and uncertainty in dealing with the future help build trust among participants and consistently reduce the level of erroneous assumptions.
