New pedagogic challenges in engineering education and the answer of IGIP

Never has the speed of development in the area of engineering been as accelerated as it is today, as we observe the enormous and driven growth of the area of engineering. Today´s tendencies require concerted new efforts in engineering education- or in other words: The importance of pedagogy in the field of engineering is growing enormously. These changes strongly demand new didactic and pedagogical paradigms. The International Society of Engineering Education (IGIP) offers seeks to contribute to the relevance and pedagogical aspects related to developing educational concepts in engineering education. The IGIP Recommendations for Engineering Pedagogy Studies (in short IGIP Curriculum) are briefly described in this work.
