ICT needs and trends in engineering education

Many technologies are shaping the way we learn and teach engineering education. Using learning technologies successfully in the classroom requires educational research to discover the usefulness of existing tools, the absence of desired tools, and the best pedagogical-use models to ensure that student knowledge grows and matures. This paper documents the results of a global survey on engineering education learning technologies that was distributed to a diverse group of engineering researchers and practitioners. The survey asked each participant to choose the three learning technologies that will likely impact engineering education in the near future. 375 participants responded to the survey offering the current view of learning technologies in engineering education. The results from data mining are documented so that researchers in learning technologies can focus on theory and product development.
