Process Oriented Engineering Education Supported by Intelligent Knowledge Assessment System

Nowadays two aspects challenge engineering education. Firstly, knowledge society emerges as consequence of replacement of the industrial age by the information age. Knowledge has become the most important asset of people promoting their employability and competitiveness on a labour market. Secondly, constantly increasing influence and rapid growth of technology put forward demands for highly skilled and educated technical workforce. As a consequence, it causes changes in engineering education that should be related with the integration of knowledge management activities concerning diagnosis of misconceptions and missing knowledge. The paper presents an experience of knowledge management within a framework of process oriented learning where knowledge assessment is supported by means of concept map based intelligent system.
