Engineering skills and knowledge are essential for driving innovation, advancing technology, and promoting sustained economic growth, all of which address the emerging societal needs of the 21st century. However, concerns have been raised about the current education system's ability to produce engineers equipped to meet the rapidly growing demands of a global, dynamic workplace and the evolving nature of engineering work. Educational Technologies (EdTech) are powerful tools for transforming learning and improving educational outcomes. However, the rapid expansion of EdTech challenges its effective adoption into engineering education.

To meet the growing expectations of industry, it is crucial to establish a common framework to guide instructors in adopting EdTech that instills the knowledge and skills required for 21st century engineers. As a first step, this paper (i) conducts a literature review of EdTech integration in engineering education across engineering disciplines, and (ii) proposes a categorization schema of EdTech integration in engineering education. Previous studies have established categorization schemas for EdTech which has been adopted across domains. While recent research has proposed a categorization schema for engineering-specific EdTech, the schema focuses on broad categories of technology that doesn’t support educators’ decision-making processes surrounding EdTech evaluation and implementation. The categorization proposed in this work supports such decision-making processes in engineering education.
