This presentation offers a personal perspective on how engineering education has evolved alongside the democratization of digital technologies. Geraldo Gurgel draws from decades of experience — from leading R&D&I projects in advanced inertial navigation and strategic systems for defense sector applications, to coordinating large-scale digital learning programs — to share reflections that connect past technological frontiers to today’s classrooms.
Rather than a conventional lecture, this talk invites participants into a series of real-world insights, such as transitions in how engineers are trained and lessons learned from forming thousands of students in Brazil and reflecting on broader global educational trends. The goal is to explore how education, once limited by physical presence and technical access, now leverages tools that were once exclusive to defense labs — and how this shift impacts what it means to “form an engineer” in a connected, digital world.
