• Resumen

  • In our era of the technology-enabled entrepreneurship and technology-driven innovation, engineering education has a keyrole to promote a sustainable model for educating leaders and for creating new contexts for experimental and experientiallearning. One of the key challenges modern Engineering Education faces is the fast integration of knowledge to curriculaand the design of participatory and student-centered learning models. The nature of engineering problems requires avariety of skills and competencies that have to be developed. This editorial serves as a position paper for the role of ICTs forthe provision of personalized learning in Engineering Education. The main contribution is the provision of an integratedmodel which requires five success factors as prerequisites for the design of any STEM Curriculum and more specifically ofengineering curricula.
