This paper aims – in a constructive critical way ‐ at highlighting the interconnectedness between engineering education and industrial structural change. This way, it connects to the core of the CDIO‐initiative. When discussing the customer‐metaphor in the final discussion, the paper connects to the topic of student involvement, albeit in an indirect way, and through the practical implications discussed at the end, the paper provides practical advice to engineering educators.
