Abstract

This study analyzed the current state of Measurement Science education in engineering programs, focusing on curriculum relevance, teaching practices, and integration of modern technologies. A structured survey conducted among students from three European universities revealed that, while students have a solid foundation in traditional measurement principles, their exposure to advanced topics such as Digital Twins, Industry 5.0, artificial intelligence, predictive maintenance, and energy-aware sensing remains limited. The findings also showed that traditional lectures remain effective for theoretical understanding; however, active learning methods, collaborative work, digital tools, and industry engagement are not sufficiently incorporated into the learning process. Students emphasized the need for more hands-on, practice-oriented experiences that better reflect real-world engineering environments. Based on these insights, the study proposes recommendations for curriculum modernization, including the integration of emerging technologies and the wider adoption of student-centered learning approaches to strengthen competencies and improve workforce readiness in engineering fields.
