ENGINEERING EDUCATION TRANSFORMATION: STRATEGIES FOR ADAPTATION AND PROBLEM-SOLVING

Abstract

This review reflects on the challenges and opportunities of engineering pedagogy. The paper shows how the digital transformation of education contributes to the preparedness of students for the job market that is rapidly changing. Similarly, the paper reveals a connection between the academic curricula and the industry’s needs. This shows that the educational structures should focus on the incorporation of the practical aspects of the discipline and establishing partnerships with the industry. A methodological approach that relies on scoping review and analyzing the previous literature is essential for understanding the current practices worldwide. The main goal of this article is to  review how digital technology, developing workforce requirements, and the need for equity and inclusiveness are collectively shaping the future of engineering education, to identify strategies that institutions can adopt to effectively adapt to these interconnected challenges and opportunities.
