confidently challenge the assumption that engineering education can beindependent of context because the technical content is universal, we need further research tounderstand how to set new objectives.Engineering Practice ResearchRecently published research has provided a foundation for this study based on 70 extensiveinterviews and field observations of engineers in several countries30-32. The frameworkconsists of 85 different aspects of engineering practice grouped as follows: 1. Managing self and personal career development 2. Coordination, working with other people 3. Engineering processes, project and operations management 4. Financial processes 5. Procurement, buying products or services 6. Human resource development, training

significant differences between the engineeringdisciplines was individualism. We consider this result to be important and that has severalimplications for how engineering students will operate across disciplines. Research suggest thatengineering students tend overall to be more individualistic [6], [39], [42]. Part of thischaracteristic comes from the fact that early in their academic programs, engineering studentcourses tend to focus on more individualistic learning (e.g. math, chemistry, dynamics) wherestudents are evaluated by individual tests. Team projects are introduced later in their disciplinesand there are multiple disciplines that have considerably less exposure to teamwork (e.g.,mechanical vs. industrial) [43], [44].

Similarly the new developments in electronic media are leading toenormous challenges for teachers in regards to the role digital devices can and should play in thelearning process. For some educators, the view is that technology should only be utilized as atool to help facilitate student understanding and mastery of the current curriculum. Whereas forother educators, technology is as fundamental to learning as reading and writing and thereforemust become an integral segment of the school curriculum.
