摘要

Improvements in energy efficiency can reduce the need for investment in energy infrastructure, cut energy bills, improve health, increase competitiveness and improve consumer welfare. The new market opportunities should be covered by a new generation of electrical engineers and specialists in energy efficient technologies able to develop market-oriented products from an idea till the end product. However, competences offered by standard educational approach are not enough flexible in order to support market oriented developers preparation. The challenges in contemporary formal courses development, experience, methods, technological and business skills for efficient energy management, which have been implemented and tested in Tempus and ERASMUS+ projects, are analyzed and discussed in this work.
