Alive Engineering Education: Transforming and Innovating Engineering Education
Since education is the activity of spreading knowledge with the teaching principles, Engineering
Education includes all forms of related education focused on resolving a condition through the
application of techniques and technologies. It is about solving problems!
Engineers and their professors can use several knowledge-teaching tools: mathematical methods
and structured knowledge – the hard ones –, process-facilitating strategies and contextual
knowledge – the soft ones. Above all, the inseparability of knowledge and its practical application
is in fact a unique characteristic of Engineering Education itself.
This publication collects alive experiments and experiences from several professors, students and
professionals that dedicated their precious time in thinking the Engineering Educations practices
and tools. Therefore, here it can be found the emerged truth from the passion for knowledge-
spreading of Engineering principles.
