Abstract :
The creation of Common Spaces for Higher Education means facing different challenges. This paper reviews the main contributions to three of these key aspects: namely, the main competencies of practicing engineers, the position of the main Education Societies in building these spaces for education, and the particularities for standards in Engineering accreditation. These ideas were debated in the last Conference on Engineering and Computer Education (ICECE05) with the technical cosponsorship of the IEEE Education Society
