SMART SKILLS ENGINEERING COMPETENCIES OF TEACHERS

Abstract

The demands of the 21st-century educational landscape have transformed the traditional role of teachers, especially in the context of engineering and technical education. This article examines the integration of SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) skills within the framework of engineering competencies required for modern teachers. Emphasis is placed on the development of digital fluency, problem-solving abilities, and adaptive learning strategies. The paper also highlights how SMART-based pedagogical design enhances teaching efficacy, learner engagement, and long-term professional development in STEM fields.
