Piaget developed a theory of how a child learns,yet when you look at Edison and the process that he used when inventing it becomes clear thatthe two are very similar.If one examines the processes used by most engineers in research and development, manyaspects of Piaget’s work can be found.

Society for Engineering Education, 2020 Educating Civil Engineering TechnologistsIntroduction Civil engineering work has evolved to encompass the distinctive roles and competencies of professional engineers, technologists and technicians. A civil engineering technologist is a specialist trained to work in one or more technical areas within the civil engineering field. Engineering technologists often work under professional engineers, yet they are expected to demonstrate competency for completion of independent activities within their particular area(s) of specialty. In many cases, civil engineering technologists acquire unique skills and knowledge that complement those of a professional engineer. In contrast, civil

Aspects such as the mutual recognition ofdegrees and professional qualifications have not been examined in this paper. I. INTRODUCTION TO THE FRENCH ENGINEERING EDUCATION SYSTEM Compared to

It embodies principles of business management,entrepreneurship, and liberal arts through hands-on learning, teams of students at all levels, andcorporate partnerships. Team design projects occupy 20-60% of student time. Olin isdeliberately gender-balanced, with 38 male and 37 female students.Despite the increase of team projects, a study at University of Nebraska-Lincoln found that onlyhalf the students who worked in teams received any training. They were unclear about teampurposes and characteristics of an effective team.28 This suggests that we have an

theme that emerges with the increased importance of science is that creativity andresearch become the pinnacle of engineering work. Thus engineering education should focus on:“…the development of able and responsible men fully competent to practice on a professionalplane, especially those who will eventually lead the profession to new heights of accomplishmentthrough creative practice or research.” The Grinter report defines the distinctive aspects ofengineering curricula to be creative: “Education directed toward the creative and practicalphases of economic design, involving analysis, synthesis, development, and engineeringresearch”.

countries andmostly dependent on foreign technology. This situation resulted in a need for engineers speakingforeign languages, in particular English, and instruction in English has become a major issue inengineering education. Moreover, globalization trends in the last decade enhanced the need forEnglish speaking engineers. Today several engineering programs are instructed in English,especially in the foundation universities.The lack of research and technology development in the industry also results in low interest inPhD level graduate engineering programs. However, there seems to be a demand in master levelengineering programs especially in the interdisciplinary areas and business administration.Recent Challenges for Engineering EducationAn
