DEVELOPMENT DIRECTIONS IN ENGINEERING EUCATION

Abstract

The technology development is known to furtherspeed increases, so that the decrease the half-life ofknowledge is particularly strong in innovative fields. Thereit goes without saying therefore that the training ofengineers, this development has to take accordingly intoaccount. This raises the question, of how this can be done ina particularly effective way? The pure accumulation ofknowledge creates is well known, no way out, as the industryrelies more on innovation and thus engineers with moreextensive knowledge base and creative qualities wants. Theindustry also reflects on young engineers which put theiracquired knowledge and skills as quickly as possible andbring into projects on an aim oriented manner. To meet thisdemand, there is an increasing need of an adequateadjustment in the curricula of engineering education. Thisarticle attempts to derive various aspects for the futuredevelopment of curricula in engineering education.
