Rationale

This track aims enhancing discussion around Engineering Education especially concerned with young professionals. Different perspectives are welcomed, namely from the point of view of young engineers and/or senior students, educators, tutors and senior engineers.
The sharing of successful practices between communities is essential to gradually improve the success of young engineers. It is intended to address problematic like:

  • How may teachers improve the development of key competences in engineering students?
  • How can the impact between academic and professional worlds be minimized?
  • Which contributions can professional institutions provide for a better linkage with the academic structures to smooth transitions?
  • How can technology improve this interrelation?
  • Are these concerns multicultural?

On the other hand, with Bologna declaration implementation, several countries undertook serious modifications in their course curricula. How did these modifications contribute to the rapprochement of these two worlds?

Topics

Some of the main topics regarding this track can be related to:

  • Project work in engineering education
  • First contacts with engineering profession
  • Improving engineering competences during education
  • Engineering graduate students competences versus companies professional needs
  • Long term vision about engineering education
  • Comparative studies in Engineering Courses following Bologna guidelines
