Adopting New Competences Experience in the Face of Engineering Learning

Abstract

The so-called Bologna process has opened a stage of deep changes in the university teaching methods in most European countries. Our work, which is focused on Spanish university reality, describes the changes that an engineering student must face in his/her learning habits as well as the new education methodologies followed by teaching staff to motivate and promote these changes. Some of these methodologies are oriented to create/reinforce a learning culture in the student and favor an intensive use of e-learning. Both elements play an important role as basis of the lifelong learning
