IMPROVEMENT IN ENGINEERING EDUCATION.Introduction.Nowadays there is a common concern about the quality of the training of future engineers tobecome not only technically exceptional but also innovative and prepared to work in an everchanging global economy and to meet the different challenges they’ll face. For instance, many ofthe visions of the ‘2020 Engineer’ [1] suggest that the education of the XXI Century engineermust be: (i) student-centered, (ii) supported by applied research, and (iii) provided withmeaningful experiences at all times. Thus, an engineer must have the necessary skills to addressscenarios such as the next scientific revolution, the revolution biotechnology in a social context,prevention and recovery from natural
