Abstract
As the planet faces the historic imperative of a green transition, engineers more than ever will use virtual representations to imagine and –above all- to create smarter solutions in all human activities. Enabling this evolution requires digital skills to connect virtual universes with reality. The presentation explores fundamental competences and practical means that emerge in different places of the world to develop these competences in engineering students.
