Abstract

ABSTRACT Future engineering professionals have to deal with increasing complexity and uncertainty, as global challenges, such as climate change, globalisation and digitalisation, require creative, innovative solutions and interdisciplinary perspectives. Accordingly, engineering graduates have to be prepared to deal with those kinds of problems at different levels. Coping with uncertain and highly complex problems as well as learning from them is referred to as resilience. However, it is not well understood how and to what concern resilience is discussed in engineering education. Therefore, this systematic literature review aims to clarify meanings, definitions and applications of resilience within engineering education. We reviewed 67 research articles and found that resilience in engineering education is either linked to engineering students as a personal attribute or to systems, in this case describing a teaching content. Moreover, the concept of resilience was seldomly defined and explained, indicating that future research should put greater emphasis on doing so.

工程教育研究是否涉及弹性，如果是，如何解决?-系统的文献综述

摘要未来的工程专业人员必须应对日益增加的复杂性和不确定性，因为气候变化、全球化和数字化等全球挑战需要创造性、创新性的解决方案和跨学科的视角。因此，工程专业的毕业生必须准备好在不同的层面上处理这些问题。应对不确定和高度复杂的问题并从中学习被称为韧性。然而，在工程教育中如何以及在多大程度上讨论弹性还没有得到很好的理解。因此，本系统的文献综述旨在阐明工程教育中弹性的含义、定义和应用。我们回顾了67篇研究文章，发现工程教育中的弹性要么作为个人属性与工程学生有关，要么与系统有关，在本例中描述了教学内容。此外，复原力的概念定义和解释很少，这表明未来的研究应该更加重视这一点。

期刊介绍： European Journal of Engineering Education is published six times a year in print and electronic editions and provides an essential forum for dialogue between researchers and specialists in the field of engineering education, at European and worldwide levels. European Journal of Engineering Education is the Official Journal of SEFI, the Socièté Européenne pour la Formation des Ingénieurs (the European Society for Engineering Education). SEFI is a non-governmental organization whose aims are to develop information about engineering education, to improve communication and exchange between professors, researchers and students and to promote cooperation between the various institutions concerned with engineering education.
