Abstract
The mission of academic formation of mechanical engineers is strongly connected with role of their profession in the society. This has evolved from practitioner on field to a science teaching through a slow evolution. This paper is an attempt to outline the main aspects of historical developments as well as current critical issues in recognizing a significant role to mechanical engineering and its academic formation. In particular, the paper presents an historical evolution of the understanding of engineers figure and consequently it outlines the mission issues in a modern academic formation.File in questo prodotto:
