International Projects @ EELU
• E-Lab Project
– Developing Virtual and Simulation labs for Engineering
Students in the fields of Mechanical and Electric
Engineering, Civil Engineering, and Physics.
• JMSE Project
– To develop and implement A Joint Masters Degree in
Software Engineering with 10 partner universities from
Egypt, Palestine, and the EU.
• ADIP Project
– To develop an approach to innovative teaching methods for
lifelong learning in Egypt and Lebanon coached by EU
partner universities and institutions
International Projects @ EELU
• SP EDU Project
– The project aims at developing a new line of
schoolteachers, who are academically and practically
competent to address children with special-needs in an
inclusion program.
• eSTEM
– The project aims at developing a new generation of
STEM teachers in Egypt, capable of providing
adequate and innovative teaching in Science,
Technology, Math and Engineering-based subjects
embracing STEM philosophy and are capable to
bridge the gap between current school education
methodologies and those needed for future pre-
university school evolution.

So, What is STEM Education?!
STEM is a curriculum based on the idea of educating students in four specific disciplines — science, technology, engineering and mathematics — in an interdisciplinary and applied approach. Rather than teach the four disciplines as separate and discrete subjects, STEM integrates them into a cohesive learning paradigm based on real-world
Why is it
important?!
• Education in its larger definition is one of the most important ingredient in the sustainable and healthy growth of any community. Science, technology, mathematics and engineering (STEM) education on the other hand is the key ingredient in the economic and technological growth for nations seeking excellence and leadership
eSTEM ProjectInternational Diploma for School Teachers in STEM Education
The project aims at developing a new generation of qualified STEM teachers who are able to develop Problem-solving, Innovation, Invention, Self-reliance, Logical thinking skills in students, and qualifying them to pursue STEM-based higher education and jobs.
Those teachers will be able to work in STEM schools in Egypt and Arab countries as well as working with STEM methodology and resources in regular public and private schools.
