Abstract

Engineering education has been evolving over the last century, with changes based on the observation of things that were not working and that needed to be improved rather than on a systematic scientific study of the specific needs of education in engineering. With the maturity now reached in the field of engineering education research, an in-depth reflection is being made on what needs to be changed in order to achieve a higher quality of education in engineering. This article shows, in a very summarized way, where we started out from and where we are now heading in the field of engineering education.
