Beyond 2030 Challenges of Engineering Education in an Information Systems Driven World - an Extraction based on Research Topics

Engineering education has dealt with a broad range of different research topics. New challenges of innovation in information systems have attracted an increasing amount of interest. However, an overview to understand better the interplay and challenges in the field of engineering education research has yet to be adequately developed. This paper focuses on the challenges of engineering education beyond 2030 with an in-depth, explorative analysis of the top conferences in education. In addition, the topics of engineering education are combined with a literature review in the field of information systems. We identified four dimensions in engineering education and discuss these from an information systems perspective, especially on the design and outcome of learning resulting in a concept matrix. The results illustrate claims in four thematic areas, including knowledge, environment, cognition, and time. Examples include the administrative overhead for teachers or longitudinal considerations from K-12 to life long learning, the impact of digitalization on the learning environment with respect to communication, learning methods such as gamification, and thematic areas, such as globalization and accessibility.
