2 Impact of Digitalization for Engineers and Engineering Education
Everything that can be digitalized, will be digitalized (Carly Fiorina) Digitalization is changing nothing, but everything (Karl-Heinz Land)

3 Significant Trends and Developments in Society
All information is available on web It is not important to know everything, but it is important to have the ability and skills to to evaluate and validate the information you found to set the right priorities to reflect your own solution approaches Cooperation between disciplines is getting more and more important How to train the necessary skills People have a opinion about what they really need and they want their expectations to be considered! How to design and organize Participation Processes? Importance of ethical fundamentals is getting more and more important Dozierende könnten bei der Vorstellung von bisherigen Entwicklungen durchaus auf die Wechselwirkungen mit der Gesellschaft eingehen

5 Impact of Digital Transformation for Engineering Education
Digital transformation affects the whole curriculum. It does not make sense just to add or change a single module The aspects of digitalization have to be integrated in the curricula, it is not sufficient just to add them The importance of interdisciplinary skills is arising Übergang IMPULSE Ein einzelnen Modul „Digitalisierung“ wäre ein Fehler So kann es zu einem „Abschieben“ der Inhalte kommen (widerspricht dem integralen Gedanken) Es gibt aber Inhalte (z.B. Geschäftsmodelle), die in einer zentralen (nach Möglichkeit interdisziplinären) Veranstaltung Platz finden könnten
