Higher education must be prepared for the ever-changing needs of the world toensure that future engineers receive extensive training and are equipped to providesignificant contributions to both the workforce and society. It is important for highereducation leaders to be aware of the need for regularly reviewing curriculum andtake part in development to ensure quality improvement. Engineering educationneeds to be up to date and driven by the need to prepare graduates for thechallenges posed by rapidly changing technology, industry, and society. This paperspecifically aims to identify best practices for curriculum design in engineeringeducation. Data was collected through the exchange of engineering and businesscurricula among members participating in the DECART project (DECART 2022). Theshared curricula underwent critical examination based on key features related tocurriculum components. The analysis included reflection and feedback from projectpartners. The findings hold significance for engineering educators in variouscontexts, offering insights into curriculum transformation, agility, and resilienceamidst increasingly Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous (VUCA)environments, which continue to influence engineering education and highereducation.
