THE EDUCATION IN ENGINEERING FIELDS IN FRONT OF MARKET DEMANDS

Open Access Publishing Group

Impacts of globalization on the engineering profession create a challenge in understanding what it means to be an engineer in the global economy of the 21st century and how should be prepared the future engineers. Engineering education today faced with request for preparation of the engineers with the necessary skills to cope with and benefit from the great changes that globalization brings. In this context, to understand how and how well we need to prepare the future engineers should be known the new capabilities that businesses and industry require from engineers. Fulfilment of all the requirements of a global economy and coping of challenges from the Institutions of Engineering Education directly requires the integration of competency based on new technology in curricula of programs they offer. So in this context, this paper it aims to identify the IT skills required by the market and to identify the quality of delivery of those skills from the Institutions of engineering education. To achieve this purpose were conducted interviews with directors/ managers of companies and teacher from institutions of engineering education. Outcomes of this research show that there is somehow a line between what is on offer in Institutions of Engineering Education and market demand for graduates in these institutions. But it remains that engineering education must increase performance of students in IT.

Engineering Impacting Social, Economical and Working Environment

Engineers create, design and build, bringing solutions to problems and transforming the environment for betterment of life. Engineers are responsible for the development of science and technology once they design tools, systems and instruments that make possible the acquisition of knowledge in a vast amount of fields. Engineering is responsible for the deep transformation of human relations in the first decade of the 21st century, changing also education paradigms as well as business. A new era in working environment has started, which characteristics are peculiar due to new communications, mobility and globalization. These aspects lead to the fact that now it is also important to train engineers with tools that enable them to act in a working environment that demands a very flexible and innovative mind in order to be inserted in and to keep up with the work market. Knowledge in Basic Sciences, Basic Sciences of Engineering and Specifics of Engineering are fundamental for the traini...

Work in Progress: Engineering, Design and Business interdisciplinary knowledge and technical scientific skills applied in Engineering Fundamentals discipline

2020 •

Claudia A Facca, Keiti Pereira Vidal de Souza

Aiming to integrate the knowledge from Design, Business and Engineering, and achieve innovation in teaching and learning process of new product or service development, this paper presents the “OpenFab” experience, applied in the Engineering Fundamentals discipline, to the students entering the Engineering courses. The study observes the process of development of a preliminary engineering project using a Design methodology and applying the principles of Management, analyzing its effects and impacts as teaching strategies in the students' learning. It was also observed the dimensions related to the technical-scientific competences and the possible and existing interdisciplinary knowledge, and other soft skills like teamwork, creativity and problem solving. The activity also aims to bring together the disciplines of Physics, Chemistry, Drawing, Calculus and Programming, addressing not only the technical resolution of a problem, but solutions in a wide range of social and environmental contexts through entrepreneurial actions. The Fab Lab was widely used by students to make models and prototypes, developing autonomy and integration through the provision of appropriate space, technical support and all the necessary resources for project development. Students were able to experience a practical application of theoretical subjects in real time, developing a new product or service.

ADAPTING ENGINEERING EDUCATION TO INDUSTRIE 4.0 VISION

Eray Gençay

Industrie 4.0 is originally a future vision described in the high-tech strategy of the German government that is conceived upon the information and communication technologies like Cyber-Physical Systems, Internet of Things, Physical Internet and Internet of Services to achieve a high degree of flexibility in production, higher productivity rates through real-time monitoring and diagnosis, and a lower wastage rate of material in production. An important part of the tasks in the preparation for Industrie 4.0 is the adaptation of the higher education to the requirements of this vision, in particular the engineering education. In this work, we introduce a road map consisting of three pillars describing the changes/enhancements to be conducted in the areas of curriculum development, lab concept, and student club activities. We also report our current application of this road map at the Turkish-German University, Istanbul.
