Abstract

Due to the combination of the current conditions of globalization and digitization, the social and economic horizons of the world, and the mixing of technical, economic and societal cultures, many challenges appeared and force referred to modifying the syllabuses and methods of introducing engineering education as a response to changes in student attitudes and low student performance as well as the spread of computers and information technology. In this research we are showing a number of these challenges and some it details to put some of the imbalances with some of the recommendations that would contribute even if it formed a part of the solution, treatment and evaluation.
