However, when we look at the training of an engineer, we can see that the aesthetic sensibility, awareness of form and awareness of form and its control throughout the design process are relegated to the design process are relegated to the background.

The contribution of José Antonio Fernández Ordóñez, in his conferences on the History and Aesthetics of Engineering, he attached particular importance to the formation of aesthetic sensibility, visual perception and the visual perception and the sense of form of his students.

Another important teaching and research institute of international prestige in the field of engineering, the M.I.T.has also recognised the importance of visual education for engineers.

The conceptual design of structures taught at the University of Stuttgart, which tries to achieve the integration of very different aspects or variables.In this way, in a creative design that is not only safe and economical, but also efficient and aesthetic and in harmony with nature.

The aesthetic value of a building increases as a function of the richness of meaning it assumes and by the number of variables or aspects incorporated into the final form of the work. This is a need that is increasingly demanded in engineering work on the part of the general public and which makes the training of makes it increasingly necessary to train students in this process of design and conception in this process of design and conception of the work, as well as in the synthesis and work, and in the synthesis and integration of very different and often conflicting factors different and often conflicting factors.
