It can also opennew career opportunities and help engineers make a greater impact in their work [14].Bio-inspired design, also known as biomimicry or biologically inspired design, is an approach toinnovation that looks to nature for solutions to engineering and design challenges [15].

Therefore, under thesecircumstances, the impact of Teaching and Learning Centers is huge, and Brazilianuniversities should create their Teaching and Learning centers. Unfortunately, there are nospecialists in adduction and learning in each Brazil unit and Industrial Engineering unit.

In a final round they do a design-for-manufacturing exercise to create a new, more buildable design, and use pull, kitting, andkanban tools to create a lean manufacturing system that can typically make five times as manyairplanes as the start state with basically the same resources.The product development simulation involves 7 students taking the roles of project management,design, analysis, systems engineering and verification and testing. They process several differentkinds of paper jobs that have different paths through the system. They perform abstract tasks,attaching labeling dots to the paper “jobs,” with time controlled by sand timers and success orfailure determined by dice. Failure can create rework

of the professional skills gap that existsbetween employer’s expectations and the qualifications of their new engineering hires. To dothis, a 2-part study examined both evidence in the literature regarding education methods andevidence of course work required of engineering professional graduates in their pursuit of abachelor’s degree. Based on the findings of this research, while engineering professionalprograms are making progress toward better professional skills, it appears that there is still muchwork to do to ensure that graduates are well qualified for professional practice. Evidence suggests that written communication skills are the most widely addressedprofessional skills in engineering professional curriculum. Many programs

competencies (disci-plinary and transversal) to help them tackle industry and organizational problems with aLean approach as future engineers. Implementing CBL is inherently challenging for pro-fessors since they must ensure a clear relationship between the learning objectives andthe challenge. In addition, professors encourage students in their learning commitment.Therefore, the evaluation relies not only on the theoretical concepts but also on the pro-posals, solutions, and how the concepts are applied to a real-world problem. The profes-sor’s role changes more towards being a mentor. Thus, there is more demand for facultytime to guide students in the decision-making process, prepare dynamic courses, and con-tinue training in CBL [29]. Table 3

According to a report published by the United NationsEducational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization [8], and a study by Erasmus andKnowledge Alliance, a new balance in the curriculum is required to develop the technical andbehavioral competencies required for engineers to work in the labor market and improve theiremployability [4], [9]. An important challenge of this training model is monitoring and evaluating students'competence development throughout the program, which requires the development of robustassessment methods [4], [9], [10].
