Abstract

Practical training in companies has been recognized for many years as an important component of the education of new engineering graduates all over the world. The format used to provide this education to students varies widely not only across national boundaries, but also within each country. This chapter deals first with the state of industrial training in engineering education in Spain, both in the old engineering degrees and in the new ones, following the European higher education area requirements, which are now in the process of introduction. An analysis is also carried out on the evaluation and assessment of industrial training when this activity is a part of first cycle engineering curricula, and the role played by the tutor is discussed. Finally, some weak points of industrial training in Spanish curricula are discussed, as well as some proposals to overcome that situation and to move towards a global approach of industrial training in engineering education.
