This project is responding to the emerged needs and challenges in Jordan. This include climate change, low employment rate of engineers, the gap between workforce supply and demand, the rapidly growing market of Electric vehicles and Hybrid vehicles (EV and HEV) and the need for servicing and maintaining them. The main scope is to equip the engineers with the needed practical skills in the field of EV and HEV and qualify them to local, regional and international markets, through developing a professional diploma and integrate some of these courses within existing programmes. Through this diploma, students will get the needed skills to maintain and operate Electric and Hybrid vehicles with appropriate knowledge in the fields of climate change, vehicle manufacturing systems, and life cycle assessment. The envisaged impacts within this project include:

• Increase the employability of Engineers in Local, Regional and International Market • Reduce air pollution and mitigate climate change impact on Jordan, through increase the use of EV/HEV

• Enhance the quality of the vocational training provided in the vocational training centers, through employing the trained engineers in those centers

• Improve the level of provided services for repairing and maintaining electric and Hybrid vehicles in Jordanian enterprises.

• Satisfying industry and economical needs by empowering engineers.

• Helping to move Jordan forward to become a host for Electrical and Hybrid vehicles industry in future​
