The purpose of this project is to
bring together and strengthen the cooperation between companies and HEIs
through the development of courses in Water Resources Management, while taking
into consideration potential climate change impacts, with adaptive learning and
teaching methods. HEIs are not highly engaged to the larger society that can
lead to graduates less desirable by enterprises and companies.
This can be
alleviated by establishing truly collaborative relationship between HEIs and
enterprises. This is one of the purposes of establishing the Water Network. The
enterprise involvement in the course should be active and proactive. WaSec will
also strengthen the collaboration among the countries of the region by
providing courses that could be adopted and implemented by all the courtiers of
the region. Students from different countries of the region will have the
chance to interact with each other through the virtual courses.
The courses
with utilize new learning methods and pedagogical approaches that would
intrigue the interest of younger generations. Finally, the ability to practice
distance-learning will assist students, particularly from rural areas of the
region.
