    Matching job market and educational market qualifications will be useful for educational institutions, human resource departments, and students in order to plan the best suitable courses, training programs, and curriculum respectively. In this paper an approach for matching job market qualifications demand and education market qualifications supply will be presented. The data input for this model will be continuously updated and hence provide the users with real-time qualifications demand and supply. Job announcements will be used to represent the job market qualifications demand, and the learning outcomes will be used to represent the education market qualifications supply.

    Engineering can be characterized as the exploitation of potentials for useful applications. It is oriented towards solutions within a framework of limited resources. Education is needed to enable engineers to act as ""change agents"". It is their responsibility to innovate in the development, manufacturing and marketing of products throughout their full life cycle, to fulfill the needs of humankind, protecting public health, welfare, and environment. Productivity of learning and teaching has to be increased by a new curriculum including innovative methods and forms for engineering education. This paper will analyze which competence domains a curriculum towards sustainable development should have and how the education in the international master study program ""Global Production Engineering"" is accomplished. This best practice from Germany can be a pioneer for further countries in the world that target to construct a knowledge-based economy like the United Arab Emirates. The paper shows possibilities of a master program to motivate students with bachelor degrees and initial work experience to walk paths in their careers combining professional success and global responsibility.

    Innovation is progressing today faster than ever before by integration of knowledge from different domains. This makes agile management of the individual competence portfolio a core competency of engineers. The borders between economics, mechanical and electrical engineering as well as computer, natural and social sciences must be crossed without losing basic qualifications that form the foundation of being an archetype of engineer. One of the core functions of universities is to teach knowledge and provide training that allows development of the individual competence portfolio. Work as an engineer is focused on solving problems with regard to available resources. Solution finding is determined by analysis, modeling, experiment and design. Needed information must be identified, filtered, understood and applied in a timely manner. Therefore engineering education must enable engineers to acquire and process relevant information as complete as possible and on adequate level of detail on time. Productivity is well defined in economical or technical context as output per input. In the context of engineering education output relates to educational standards and educational quality, while input is determined by invested time, money and expertise. One of the main educational challenges today is to improve productivity in engineering education. In this paper approaches to define and measure productivity in engineering education are discussed. It is presented how TU Berlin faces the challenge of increasing productivity in engineering education in a pilot project. Methods to improve productivity are described and the experiences during implementation in the curriculum are shared.
