This paper presents Lean Engineering Education
(LEE) as an curricular innovation in the Engineering courses. It
provides a discussion, mainly based on literature and informal
dialogues, about the disconnected world of academy and industry
and the demands for new educational methods and strategies.
Additionally, it defines LEE as also the principles inherent to this
and describes how LEE addresses two complex challenges faced
by Higher Education Institutions: the globalized marketplace
and the right skills from industry perspective for engineering
graduates
