Field of Performance and Area of Knowledge: A Structure of Reference in Engineering Education.

Rebelatto, Daisy Aparecida do Nascimento; Belhot, Renato Vairo

The current curricular structure in engineering education does not allow for developing students' creativity, flexibility, capacity to work in a group, or ability to initiate work opportunities. This paper explores the concepts of "field of professional performance" and "knowledge area" as they relate to modern engineering education and preparing students to meet these goals. (WRM)
