engineering education reform

Engineering education reform refers to updating and improving how engineers are taught to better prepare them for evolving technological and societal challenges. It involves modernizing curricula to include interdisciplinary skills, hands-on experience, creativity, and problem-solving, rather than solely focusing on traditional technical knowledge. The goal is to produce engineers who are adaptable, innovative, and capable of working in complex, real-world environments. These reforms often involve integrating new teaching methods, industry collaborations, and emphasizing ethical and sustainable practices—ultimately aiming to enhance the relevance and quality of engineering training for the future workforce.
