Abstract :
Thirteen engineering educators and researchers were each asked to choose a particular aspect of engineering´s future to address. Each of the authors has contributed a short piece that has been edited into a discussion of the future as we collectively see it. Topics include the stimulating change, the changing university, teaching, learning, research, outcome assessment and technology as well as a look back at predictions for 2000.
