Abstract
Engineers are involved in the implementation, application, operation, design and management of projects and processes, changing the type of work with the specific engineering field. The world in which engineers operates at the beginning of this century, is characterised by the diverse, profound and incessant changes occurring in technology, natural environment and society expectations. The recent review of engineering education indicates that there are a variety of roles of professional engineers which need to be reflected in engineering formation. Engineering can be considered at this moment as a broad discipline that embraces knowledge and training in science and mathematics, business and management, social science and computer technology. We think that engineering students perception of the work and skills of an actual engineer is not according to that reality, because the actual curriculum do not include those skills and the curriculum has a tremendous influence in the thought of the students. So in this work we make a study of the students perception of the more important skills of the actual engineer.
