DESCRIPTION:This presentation offers a personal perspective on how engineer
 ing education has evolved alongside the democratization of digital technol
 ogies. Geraldo Gurgel draws from decades of experience — from leading R&
 D&I projects in advanced inertial navigation and strategic systems for def
 ense sector applications\, to coordinating large-scale digital learning pr
 ograms — to share reflections that connect past technological frontiers 
 to today’s classrooms.\n\nRather than a conventional lecture\, this talk
  invites participants into a series of real-world insights\, such as trans
 itions in how engineers are trained and lessons learned from forming thous
 ands of students in Brazil and reflecting on broader global educational tr
 ends. The goal is to explore how education\, once limited by physical pres
 ence and technical access\, now leverages tools that were once exclusive t
 o defense labs — and how this shift impacts what it means to “form an 
 engineer” in a connected\, digital world.\n\nSpeaker(s): GERALDO\, \n\nV
