Education for the Future of Software Engineering

The discipline of software engineering is developing rapidly. Its practitioners must deal with an evolving collection of problems and with new technologies for dealing with those problems. Software engineering education must anticipate new problems and technologies, providing education in the enduring principles of the field in the context of the best current practice. Since changes in the disc...

Membrane Engineering: Future Perspectives

Probabilistic design: The future of rock engineering

A brief background to the development of the rock engineering design process is given, showing that since the development of the science of mathematics, deterministic methods have been used to perform various calculations. The variability of rock properties and support characteristics have always been known. However, they were not explicitly used in design but compensated for by the use of a sa...

Reengineering Chemical Engineering Education for the Future

The recent reformulation of the Chemical Engineering curriculum at the Faculty of Science and Technology of the University of Coimbra, according to the paradigms of the Bologna process, created an unique opportunity to implement substantial changes, in line with the new emerging paradigms of Chemical Engineering. The curriculum reformulation process involved a broad discussion among the faculty...

architectural education in civil engineering challenges and future development

development of the structural form is directly influenced by the architectural concern for aesthetic appeal. the architectural challenge is to create building forms that satisfy the functional requirements, yet are aesthetically and economically successful. the structural challenge is to create structural forms that accommodate the functional requirements while supporting the imposed loads as e...

The future of electrical and computer engineering education

The authors will briefly describe how some of today’s innovations and advancements might provide potential for improving the efficiency, effectiveness, and quality of contemporary teaching methods. A model curriculum proposed in this paper merges the disciplines of mathematics, science, engineering, and computing. It also addresses the growing need for exposing aspiring engineers to the human, ...
