Abstract :
This paper introduces the development of a Web-based platform that serves as tool to analyze the evolution and necessities of the new technologies in the education of engineering, as well as to evaluate those that finally will have more possibilities to be implanted. This platform gathers the opinion of engineering education experts to create visual comparisons of the results. The analysis offered by the platform is cross-discipline, cross-country, cross-continent, and cross-technology comparisons.
