Especially, engineering schools, that’ teach principles for the professional practice of engineering. Throughout the learning process, students acquire skills, like: problem-solving, critical thinking and decision-making besides professional competencies required at the workplace (communication, teamwork, flexibility, the ability to learn….).
Nowadays, researchers and educators of engineering sciences need to face new challenges (changes in society and economy, recruiting requirements, student expectations, new technologies, etc…). But on other hand, they have the opportunity to explore a multitude of teaching toolkits: Online courses, Serious games, Open Educational Resources, Massive Open Online Courses, YouTube videos TED talks, …. So, educators need to rethink pedagogy and be creative to offer, to students, new and great learning experience.
