, The Engineer of 2020 concludes (p. 56) with the fact that an engineerin 2020 must be flexible and capable of operating in a world where “social, cultural, political,and economic forces will continue to shape and affect the success of technological innovation”(p. 53): Given the uncertain and changing character of the world in which 2020 engineers will work, engineers will need something that cannot be described in a single word. It involves dynamism, agility, resilience, and flexibility. Not only will technology change quickly, the social-political-economic world in which engineers work will change continuously. In this context it will not be this or that particular knowledge that engineers will need but rather the ability to

‘transformative learning’ may be relevant [30-34].Mezirow [30] described the goal of higher education is to help individuals become “moreautonomous, socially responsible thinkers”, and linked transformation theory to moral values[30, p. 8-9]. The large differences in culture during international travel or engagement perhapsresult in discomfort or ‘disorienting dilemmas’ [31-34]. Thus, one’s awareness of needs isheightened, one recognizes the role that engineering and technology could play in helping, andone’s sense of responsibility to help through engineering is catalyzed. However, transformativelearning theory stresses the role of critical reflection and discourse in transforming experienceinto changes in one’s attitudes, values, and/or knowledge [30
