inventory)18, which has beenrigorously validated and used in a wide variety of contexts, including engineering, business,education, medicine, and the military.As measured by KAI, an individual’s cognitive style is related to the amount of structure he orshe prefers when solving problems, with the more Adaptive preferring more structure (with moreof it consensually agreed), and the more Innovative preferring less structure (with less concernabout consensus). These individual differences are immediately relevant for individual studentsas they strive to solve problems with varying degrees of structure (e.g., open-ended vs. closed-ended, tightly constrained vs. loosely constrained, etc.) and to meet the expectations of theirinstructors, whose own
interests include gender in engineering education research, interdisciplinarity, peer review, engineers’ epistemologies, and global engineering education.Dr. Devlin Montfort, Oregon State UniversityDr. Shane A.

professional employability. The Bachelor’s level does not necessarily have to qualify for professional employability. 6. The Bachelor’s level should not only give employability; it should also be a pivot point for cross-European and international mobility and an entry point to the Master’s level. 7. Universities should be allowed to set their own admission criteria for entry to the 2nd Cycle. 8. The organisations for engineering education and the professional engineers in Europe should play a formal role in the development of accreditation, quality assurance and recognition at a European levelThe above eight points represent statements of caution in implementing Bologna forengineering curricula and certainly

To best address these issues,engineering researchers, policy advocates, and industry leaders were convened to discuss thefuture of STEM and societies in the age of AI. From an engineering education domain, workshopparticipants were made aware of fundamental

This is why, the author thinks that it is vital to focus on recruitment firstand subsequently to retention for the health of the technological society in which we are living.Global recruitment is studied from several perspectives as mentioned earlier with more emphasison K-12 level innovations, global accreditation and underrepresented groups.K-12 level innovationsThere is an impression problem about the engineering and technology profession among majorityof Americans as they are not clear about what engineers do4.
