Zusammenfassung

Adapting Engineering Degrees to labor market needs is one of the major concern of the universities. Spanish engineering studies case is particularly complex due to the existing professional competences. This paper describes part of the works carried out in the ANADING project (Analysis of procedures and tools for the adaptation of engineering degrees to the needs of national and international labor market) during the years 2009 and 2010, which was funded by the Spanish Ministry of Education. In this project have been developed tools for the detection of engineering degrees needs to adapt them to the labor market. Many previous works have been deeply analyzed and two models of questionnaires have been developed, one for graduates and the other for employers. Both questionnaires and the corresponding survey methods have been tested with graduates of the last 5 years of the Agricultural Engineering studies of the University of León, and with a group of selected employers. Many suggestions about how to develop a methodology to identify the engineering degrees needs, and how to interpret its results, have been presented.
