Engineering Education has been made more attractive and valuable by project-based learning

• Instrumental competencies– Basics of engineering work– Traditional focus of engineering education

• Strategic competencies– Achieving economic and political goals– Increasingly part of management courses

• Communicative competencies– Have a users frame of reference– Ability for dialogue – Capability to deal with a plurality of cultural codes– Originally the weak spot but now addressed by project-

based learning

• Have we made our graduates too generic, so that they are valuable for other industries as well?

But are we too successful in making our graduates attractive for other industries ??

Results of a recent comparison between six industries

• Aviation excelled by systems thinking entrenched in all industry participants

• This was in part due to the strong focus on systems thinking in education, both in training for pilots as in the aerospace engineering curricula

• These competences were strongly recommended for all other industries
