University education, and particularly engineering education, is currently undergoing intensive change. A number of new universities have been established in recent years to fulfil modern educational model in STEM. Current research effort reports the finding of a recent study commissioned by a private foundation with a goal to establish a new engineering university in Europe. The experts converged on several important components for a new university to be successful: (a) highly personalized educational plan, with an ability to combine completely different modules from STEM, art, history, real-life projects etc.; (b) return to the origin of liberal arts envisioning a university as a bearer of the European humanistic tradition; (c) multidisciplinary education program in complex socio-technical systems with strong emphasis on data science; (d) distributed and cross-border campus and individual adaptive educational scenarios. The findings of this study highlight global trends in higher education affecting most university models and STEM education as a whole. © 2020 SEFI 47th Annual Conference: Varietas Delectat...
