2 Definition of Engineering Engineering represents creative thought and skilled actions associated with the use or adaption of natural materials and natural phenomena in the conceptualization, planning, designing, and disposing of devices. Harms/Baetz/Volti: Engineering in Time Engineering is the discipline, art and profession of acquiring and applying scientific, mathematical, economic, social, and practical knowledge to design and build structures, machines, devices, systems, materials and processes that safely realize a solution to the needs of society. Wikipedia Short definition of engineering: exploiting basic principles of science to develop useful tools, objects and Services for the society. Link between the Sciences and the Society 2

3 Important Tendencies in Engineering Growing number of Engineering Disciplines Decreasing Innovation Cycles Technology Enhanced Teaching and Learning 3

4 New Engineering Disciplines Software Engineering Information Engineering Data Engineering Requirements Engineering Medical Engineering Neuro Engineering Gen Engineering Language Engineering Social Requirement Engineering (!) Systems Engineering as integrating discipline! New tasks within traditional engineering: Online Engineering Remote Engineering Virtual Engineering Re-Engineering Reverse Engineering 4

5 Decreasing Innovation Cycles How many years did it take to reach a market audience of 50 Million? Radio 38 years TV 13 years Internet 4 years ipod 3 years Facebook 2 years Tablet PC 1 year Furthermore: Virtualization of the design and development processes (Single piece production) 5

6 TEL Technology Enhanced Learning 200 Years Chalkboard 20 Years Internet The first website at CERN - and in the world -was dedicated to the World Wide Web project itself and was hosted on Berners-Lee's NeXT computer in

7 New Jobs in Engineering Today s learner will have 10 to 14 jobs... by the age of 40 1 out of 4 workers today is working for a company for whom they have been employed less than 1 year More than 1 out of 2 are working for a company for whom they have worked less than 5 years The top 10 jobs that are in demand today didn t exist 10 years ago. This means: We are currently preparing students for jobs that don t yet exist using technologies that haven t yet be invented, in order to solve problems we don t even know are problems yet! 7

8 Albert Einstein "Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school" Main challenge: To Learn how to learn! 8

9 New Pedagogic Questions What learning approaches have to be used to effectively response to these changes? What are the pedagogies that provide the most effective learning experiences for engineering students of the 21st Century? What learning skills in engineering education need to be developed and how can engineering teachers succeed in guiding their students to achieve them? What pedagogical approaches have been found to support the different phases of the present life-long learning continuum? What are the approaches that enable competence in leadership skills in a multi-cultural working environment, and what is the best way for these competencies to be delivered? Ambient technology is becoming a reality. What does ambient learning in Engineering Education look like? How can it be designed, delivered and assessed? 9

10 About IGIP The only International Society for Engineering Pedagogy Over 40 years tradition of contributing to Engineering Education and Pedagogy IGIP provides certification for engineering educators IGIP provides accreditation for institution that deliver courses that conform with the IGIP curriculum 10

11 Mission of IGIP Improving teaching methods in technical subjects Developing practice-oriented curricula that correspond to the needs of students and employers Encouraging the use of media in technical teaching Integrating languages and the humanities in engineering education Fostering management training for engineers Promoting environmental awareness Supporting the development of engineering education in developing countries IGIP is accredited by UNESCO 11

16 International Engineering Educator ING.PAED.IGIP is a title, which certificates a certain educational level for a teacher, trainer or instructor, which is given by the IGIP Prototype Curriculum. Any engineering educator who passes the curriculum at any accredited training center for International Engineering Education, and whose education, training and professional experience meet the IGIP standards may apply for the certification as "International Engineering Educator - ING-PAED IGIP. 16

17 Educational Competences Pedagogical, psychological and ethical competences Didactical skills and evaluative competences Organisational (managerial) competences Oral and written communication skills and social competences Reflective and developmental competences A Modular System: Core Modules (7 CP) Theory Modules (6 CP) Practice Modules (5 CP) Elective Modules (3 CP) 17

18 IGIP Prototype Curriculum (1) 60 ECTS credits are attached to the workload of a fulltime year of formal learning (academic year) and the associated learning outcomes. In most cases, student workload ranges from 1,500 to 1,800 hours for an academic year, whereby one credit corresponds to 25 to 30 hours of work. 18

19 IGIP Prototype Curriculum (2) 19

20 Certification Every Engineering Educator can apply for the title International Engineering Educator Ing.Paed.IGIP in one of the national branches, the training centers or the IGIP headquarters, if he/she can prove certificates in all necessary modules of the Prototype Curriculum. There is also a certification as IGIP Acredited Training Center Possible. 20
