Competence In Engineering, Between Enabling And Practice

摘要

Competence description remains a desideratum even in our days. The paper proposes some practical arguments that make possible some improvements. In education, Blooms taxonomy of educational objectives is still the reference regarding detailed competencies that can be achieved through learning. This taxonomy allows to define the desired learning level of a target audience. In addition, this taxonomy is useful to build assessment instruments, hi order to improve the role of curricula for the undergraduate and graduate level (by point of view of Bologna process) a different approach is proposed. Starting from classical description of engineering (a specific standard from Australia [1]), we find some good results obtained from European programs. A new approach will be obtained, very useful for competence description.
