Being an engineer in the 21st century is much more than planning, doing calculations and writing code. Today’s engineer is required to be able to work in a team, independent learning throughout life and to be able to deal with solving complex problems in situations of uncertainty. These are the demands of advanced industry in Israel and around the world.
The Samuel Neaman Institute for National Policy Research at the Technion recently published a report entitled “Educating Engineers in the 21st Century”, which reinforces the view that advocates the need to expand the education of the Israeli engineer in the early stages of his training, And to withstand global competition.
