The author points out that the engineering profession is undergoing a significant crisis not only in Colombia but also at the international level. A new engineer with certain attibutes is required if the profession wants to have a leading role in society. Three paradigms in engineering history are described, followed by the suggestion of a new paradigm for the future. Finally, some brief comments are presented about the impact of Internet and the digital era on engineering education, and about the challenges Colombia faces in this respect.
