通过提高学习与工程实践的相关性来改革工程教育的努力尚未取得很大成功。对已发表文献的分析表明，工程教育主要是基于以技术问题解决和设计为代表的工程实践模式。然而，这个模型无法解释工程实践中的许多观察结果，比如工程师与其他人互动的时间。本文根据工程师的详细观察，介绍了工程实践。新的描述将工程视为依赖于分布式专业知识的人类行为。本文简要讨论了如何改变教学，评估和认证需要关闭工程教育和实践之间的差距。
Efforts to reform engineering education by improving the relevance of learning for engineering practice have not yet been very successful. Analysis of published literature demonstrates that engineering education is predominantly based on a model of engineering practice represented by technical problem-solving and design. However, this model cannot explain many observations of engineering practice like the amount of time that engineers interact with other people. This paper presents a description of engineering practice based on detailed observations of engineers. The new description sees engineering as a human performance that relies on distributed expertise. The paper briefly discusses how changes in pedagogy, assessment and accreditation are needed to close the gap between engineering education and practice.
