Knowledge, skills, and competences: Descriptors for engineering education

Since the European Parliament has given an according recommendation, qualifications are to be described in terms of knowledge, skills, and competences. In this paper, these terms are redefined in a way that they are put into relation to learning-models, thus making possible to describe qualifications in engineering education in a more rigorous and verifiable way.
