Renewable Energy Engineering Profile in an

Abstract- One of the most important objectives of the European Union energy strategy is looking for sustainable development through the improvement of energy efficiency and the promotion of renewable energy sources. An international project focused on encouraging the use of renewable energy sources in buildings, within the Intelligent Energy Europe Programme of the European Union, is being developed by eight participants from four countries, including regional Energy Agencies, Universities and small and medium enterprises of the construction sector. The project includes training actions consisting of the development of a new profile of renewable energies technician through a postgraduate engineering programme. This international programme involves the utilization of the UBUCampus-e, a web-based environment of the University of Burgos for e-learning. The UBUCampus-e has been used in a traditional lectures postgraduate course in Spain and as a fully online e-learning environment in an international postgraduate course for European engineers. Assessment of the courses through questionnaires and the UBUCampus-e trail facility has been done. Some results related to the development of the courses and to the learning engagement are presented.
