Engineering Educator!
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, objects and Services for the society.
Link between the Sciences and the Society Engineering represents creative thought and skilled actions associated with the use or
adaption of natural materials and natural phenomena in the conceptualization, planning,
designing, and disposing of devices.

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 are in demand today didn’t exist 10 years ago.
This means:
• We are currently preparing students for jobs that don’t yet exist
• … using technologies that haven’t yet be invented,
"Education is what remains after
one has forgotten everything he
learned in school"
Main challenge:
To Learn how to learn!
New
Pedagogic
Questions
• What learning approaches have to be used to effectively response to these changes?
• What are the pedagogies that provide the most effective learning experiences for engineering students of the 21st Century?
• What learning skills in engineering education need to be developed and how can engineering teachers succeed in guiding their students to
achieve them?
• What pedagogical approaches have been found to support the different phases of the present life-long learning continuum?
• What are the approaches that enable competence in leadership skills in a multi-cultural working environment, and what is the best way for
these competencies 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?

Educator
ING.PAED.IGIP is a title, which certificates a certain educational level for a teacher, trainer or instructor, which is given by the IGIP Prototype Curriculum.
Any engineering educator who passes the curriculum at any
accredited training center for International Engineering Education, and whose education, training and professional experience meet the IGIP standards may apply for the certification as "International Engineering Educator” - ING-PAED IGIP.
Educational
Competences
• Pedagogical, psychological and ethical competences • Didactical skills and evaluative competences
• Organisational (managerial) competences
• Oral and written communication skills and social competences • Reflective and developmental competences
• Core Modules (7 CP) • Theory Modules (6 CP) • Practice Modules (5 CP) • Elective Modules (3 CP) A Modular System:
60 ECTS credits are attached to the workload of a full-time year of formal learning (academic year) and the associated learning outcomes. In most cases, student workload ranges from 1,500 to 1,800 hours for
an academic year, whereby one credit corresponds to 25 to 30 hours of work.
Certification
Every Engineering Educator can apply for the title
International Engineering Educator – Ing.Paed.IGIP
in one of the national branches, the training centers or the IGIP headquarters, if he/she can prove certificates in all necessary modules of the Prototype Curriculum.
There is also a certification as
