The International Society of Engineering Education IGIP and the New Pedagogic Challenges in Engineering Education Eleonore Lickl
A Tradition of 40 Years in “Train the Trainer” • An International society with a worldwide membership – individuals, affiliates, institutions • Main concern: Engineering Educator • More than 1.200 professionals all over the globe individually trained at accredited institutions and certified with an ING.PAED.IGIP • Worldwide partnership with other engineering education societies (IFEES, IEEE EdSoc, SEFI, IELA, ASEE …)
Mission of IGIP • Improving teachingmethods in technical subjects • Developing practice-oriented curricula(for the training of the engineering educator) that correspond to the needs of students and employers • Encouraging the use of media in technical teaching • Integrating languages and the humanities in engineering education • Fostering managementtraining for engineers • Promoting environmentalawareness • Supporting the development of engineering education in the GlobalSouth and DevelopingCountries

International Engineering Educator ING.PAED.IGIP is a register, which certificates a certain educational level for a teacher, trainer or instructor, which is given by the IGIP curriculum. Any engineering educator who passes the curriculum at any accredited training centre for International Engineering Education, and whose education, training and professional experience meet the IGIP standards may register for the professional register as "International Engineering Educator ING.PAED.IGIP". 1274 entries from 52 countries worldwide

Definition of Engineering Engineering is the discipline, art and profession of acquiring and applying scientific, mathematical, economic, social, and practical knowledge to design and build structures, machines, devices, systems, materials and processes that safely realize a solution to the needs of society. Short definition of engineering: exploiting basic principles of science to develop useful tools and objects for the society. Link between the Sciences and the Society
Additional New Engineering Disciplines • Software Engineering • Data Engineering • Medical Engineering • Neuro-Engineering • Gene Engineering • Social Requirement Engineering • … • Systems Engineering as integrating discipline • New tasks within traditional engineering: • Online Engineering • Remote Engineering • Virtual Engineering • Reverse Engineering
Changesrequired • in theEducational Systems • PedagogyandDidactics • MethodsandProcesses
Decreasing Innovation Cycles • How many years does it take to reach a market audience of 50 Million? • Radio 38 years • TV 13 years • Internet 4 years • iPod 3 years • Facebook 2 years • iPAD (Tablet PC) 1 year • …
New Jobs in Engineering • Today’s learner will have 10 to 14 jobs ... by the age of 40! • 1 out of 4 workers today is working for a company for whom they have been employed less than 1 year • More than 1 out of 2 are working for a company for whom they have worked less than 5 years • The top 10 jobs that will be in demand in 2015 didn’t exist in 2005. This means: • We are currently preparing students for jobs that don’t yet exist • … using technologies that haven’t yet be invented, … • in order to solve problems we don‘t even know are problems yet!
„Exponential Times“ More than 3.000 new books are published worldwide ... daily! The amount of new technical information is doubling ... every 2 years! The number of text messages sent and received exceeds the population of the planet … every day! It is estimated that 1,5 exabytes (1.5 ∙ 1018) of unique new information will be generated worldwide ... this year! (That’s more than in the previous 5.000 years) There are over 3.5 billion searches performed on Google ... each month! (To whom were these questions addressed B.G. ?) Before Google
New Aspects • Social Position of Learning • 80 % of all learning on the job • Engineers’ Interaction with Others • 60 % interaction activities (meetings, supervision, writing reports etc) • 40 % technical engineering activity • New Organizational Aspects in Engineering Education • Engineering issues become • very complicated • cross disciplinary • internationalized in a global economy • Improvement of the Agility of Engineering Education • Innovative ways to quickly respond to the new needs at low cost (e.g. virtual online units)
New Questions arise • What learning approaches have to be used to give an effective response to these changes? • What are the pedagogies that enable 21st Century learning in engineering? • What learning skills in engineering education need to be developed and what ways have been shown to be successful in achieving them? • What pedagogical approaches have been found to support the different phases of the life-long learning continuum or is there also a pedagogical continuum? • What are the learning approaches that enable competence in leadership skills in a multi-cultural working environment to be delivered? • Ambient technology is becoming a reality – what does ambient learning in Engineering Education look like? How can it be designed, delivered and assessed?
Let‘s meet this challenges “In an increasingly complex world, sometimes old questions require new answers!”
