  2. 400 members from 42 countries

  3. Student organisations Sustainability in EE Global innovation

  4. EUGENEEUropean and Global ENgineering Education A) Ph. D. STUDIES: Structure and Bologna follow-up in the competitiveness issues Leading: CESAER/AUTH/KTU Leuven; A. Avdelas, J. Berlamont B) PROMOTE EE IN EUROPE AS A TRUE RESEARCH FIELD C) IMPROVE transnational MOBILITY of engineering students, graduates and professionals

  5. EUGENEEUropean and Global ENgineering Education D) LLL & CONTINUING EDUCATION as a tool to improve competitiveness and innovation of European engineers E) INCREASE ATTRACTIVENESS of studies in science and engineering and to EHERA: involve students organisations and promote awareness outside the EU of EE evolution and opportunities; Leading: CESAER/BEST, H. Kaiser, K. Hawwash, student

  6. Agenda • Company voices • International studies • Global labour market

  7. Vision of the contexts for engineering in 2020: • Technological (e.g., bio-tech, digital systems, computer systems/tools, sustainable technology, interdisciplinarity) • Societal, Global, and Professional (e.g., social, political & economic, diversity, multi-disciplinarity, global markets & contexts, interaction of engineering and public policy) • Attributes of the Engineer of 2020: • Strong analytical skills • Practical ingenuity • Creativity • Communication competencies (oral, written, and cultural) • Business, management, and leadership skills • High ethical standards and professionalism • Agility, resilience, flexibility

  8. Educating engineers • Criticism of linear block system • Arguing for design capabilities and a more problem based and project based system • Complexity and technological integration

  9. Sustainability, global innovation and complexity global or intercultural innovative competences

  10. Distribution by income level

  11. Graduates in China

  12. Gender and fields of study

  13. Gender and science, mathematics and computing

  14. Genderengineering, manu and const-

  15. Qualification framework Global innovative competences - learning ‘competence’ means the proven ability to use knowledge, skills and personal, social and/or methodological abilities, in work or study situations and in professional and personal development. In the context of the European Qualifications Framework, competence is described in terms of responsibility and autonomy. You can not learn this by visit - this is an internalized process – you need to collaborate – you need to experience ….

  16. Research on PBL

  17. Summing up • Global competiveness is a huge challenge • Global innovation and sustainability in EE and in research • European challenge of attractiveness to EE and lifelong learning • Change in EE to address these competences • Invitation for coordination of European voices Anette Kolmos, Aalborg University
