The curriculum outline comprises 10 modules, to be delivered in hybrid format, blending online classes with experiential learning on-site. Each module is designed to impart the equivalent of 1.5-credit hours, comprising 30 hours of cumulative learning time. Fifteen hours (15) of real-time online classes, anchored by the WePOWER SAR 100 Regional Knowledge Hub (RKH) at AIT, will be hosted by the Sustainable Energy Transition (SE) department at AIT Bangkok, with international faculty participating from a variety of locations. 15 hours of supervised onsite practical learning assignments will be facilitated by experts in the home-country, working closely with the AIT core team.  A one-week on-campus capstone event at AIT will conclude the program.

The curriculum primarily focuses on:

• Operation of regionally integrated power systems with high penetration of renewable energy, including hydropower

• Power markets for regional integration and scaling-up renewable energy, including hydropower. SAR-100 also includes a module on soft skills that help build gender awareness and mitigate unconscious bias and boosts everyday leadership.
