Technical impact on the future engineering education

The technical impact on future engineering education has two main reasons. One factor is the growth rate of technical knowledge in depth and width and the second reason is the wide range of options of knowledge transfer using computer techniques. Besides, there are also many other reasons, e.g. the efficiency of knowledge transfer, greater consideration of individual learning and teaching styles, economic and strategic reasons, focusing on new technologies and so on. The development of the techniques and their technologies are effected as generally known, with increasingly higher speed, so that the Half-life of technical knowledge is likely to shorten sustainable in the future. This is particularly the case in the highly innovative engineering subjects. Basically it should be differentiated between the terms “technique” and “technology”. Technique is the mode of operation and/or method which is for example used for the creation and engineering of products. Technology is actually the academics see or science of the technique. That means the term technology denotes the knowledge of a technique. But as known a clean mapping of terms from different viewpoints is strongly dependent. So already the respective language area plays an equally important role as the associated systemic view. Thus, certain terms can not transfer in each case clearly without exact knowledge of two scientific fields (languages). The same applies when knowledge from the biological realm is to be transferred into technical solutions, see bionics. The use of systems theory can here improve the transfer and/or exchange of knowledge from System 1 to System 2, see [1; 2]. In a globalized world, there are many other similar examples.
