Abstract: A training package in renewable energy sources and technology, suitable for the Arab world is reported in this work. This package contains several programs starting from a Diploma to the M.Sc. level. Special short courses and workshops for decision-makers, engineers and the general public are also presented. The 1-year diploma program consists of 31 credit hours (27 theoretical credit hours and 12 laboratory hours, counted as 4 credit hours), while the 3-year diploma program consists of 93 credit hours (81 theoretical credit hours and 36 laboratory hours, counted as 12 credit hours). The B.Sc. program in energy engineering is also proposed at the undergraduate level. The 4 year B.Sc. program consists of 152 credit hours (142 theoretical credit hours, 30 laboratory hours, counted as 10 credit hours) including a project. The M.Sc. level program lasts for 18 to 24 months and this includes a total of 32 credit hours (24 theoretical credit hours composed of 8 courses, and 6 laboratory hours, counted as 2 credit hours and a 6 credit hours thesis). Recommendations to encourage public awareness for the widespread use of renewable energy sources are also stated.
