ABSTRACT

An overview of the main ideas of the book “Reshaping Engineering Education. Addressing Complex Human Challenges" (Springer, 2024). This book was created by theorists and practitioners of engineering education at Harvard University. It seems that the ongoing reform of higher technical education in modern Russia can take into account the experience of one of the leading universities in the world and take into account the concepts and practical implementation of these concepts that were embodied here. Today, Harvard University is developing new master's programs that understand engineering functions in the context of preparation for solving complex human problems. For this purpose, courses are being developed in systems thinking, engineering design, creativity, integration of engineering and art, as well as the development of specific open-ended solutions in the presence of specialists who must professionally solve the problem that students present to them. Of particular importance is interdisciplinarity and the inclusion of students in solving problems that are relevant to society as a whole.
