Abstract: In the new education and technology era, there are many challenges for Engineering education in the field of energy especially to enhance the effectiveness of teaching and learning process via structured multimedia. The universities across Europe are currently adopting the new Bologna three-cycle study system and most of engineering related departments have already developed new study programs accordingly. Several issues have to be addressed in order to provide high-quality education with improved efficiency and minimal cost. These are related to the foundation skills and knowledge for engineers. They should be supplemented by new engineer curricula empowering energy engineers to manage solving their problems in a sustainable way. The current contribution is based on years of practical teaching and involvement in the formation of the policy for engineering education in Europe. It discusses how the application of the Bologna system, appropriate and wise use of multimedia, and innovative introduction of novel communication means into the education can help in achieving the above goals. The discussion includes the development of methods and tools, multimedia internet-based teaching and learning programs, and cyberinfrastrucure-based virtual libraries.
