Knowledge transfer and the challenges of engineering training in the face of globalization.

Abstract

Knowledge transfer is a maximum in contemporary society. Faced with this phenomenon, driven by neoliberal globalization, university education institutions are required to make radical changes that aim to adapt the study plans, according to the requirements of the ‘global village’. The training of engineers cannot be placed outside of these curricular perspectives, but it must impose a humanistic vision on scientific and technological work. This work is part of the route to strengthen ethics and criticism in the training of engineers.
