- Development of vocations in engineering in secondary schools in PortugalPublication . Silva, Paulo; García-Holgado, Alicia; Felgueiras, CarlosEducation is essential to future professionals, preparing them for the labor market, by providing knowledge and practical experiences. Through educational models, adapted to each level of education, students are equipped with knowledge, experiences and notions that help them to understand which path they should follow in their professional career. For several reasons, this foundation can fail and lead students to embark on careers that do not satisfy them and leading to a dropout in university education. Another phenomenon is the lack of attractiveness that Engineering career seems to have for secondary school students and the underdeveloped vocations in this scientific area, leading students to avoid some kind of subjects such as mathematics, physics, or science. To study the present case, actions will be carried out on secondary school students, measuring the impact that it may have on choosing a career in Engineering. At the end of the study, it is expected to discover the origins of the problem and identify possible solutions to resolve and stabilize the situation, as it would be desirable for more secondary students to pursue a career in Engineering.
- Skills in Engineering Education and its challenges to the labour marketPublication . Silva, Paulo; García-Holgado, Alicia; Felgueiras, CarlosSince childhood, education is an essential element in shaping and building knowledge, wisdom and character. What the child absorbs in this knowledge shapes their interest in their attitudes and preferences, directly impacting their school career and, consequently, their professional career. More importantly, education directly impacts the skills each individual is equipped with and can use daily. Skills in the field of sustainability, for example, have become quite relevant nowadays as we need increasingly more technological solutions that have less impact on the environment. If students do not have these skills, then this will mean that professionals in the labor market will not have sufficient skills to respond to the needs of society, and consequently fail to meet national and governmental commitments to outlined goals. It therefore becomes important to understand students' needs for a more complete education adjusted to the needs of society, preparing these future professionals for an increasingly technological, demanding and competitive labor market. This study aims to provide an overview and approach to some findings within the scope of an educational project in STEAM learning and an ERASMUS + project related to education and sustainability.
