This paper discusses the importance of including financial education in the training process of engineering professionals. Financial education is becoming more relevant every day given the growing number of products offered by the financial markets and its effect on the economic development of the states and the quality of life of its citizens. It is evident that one of the main causes of the recent economic crisis has been the lack of this type of education. The concept of financial education, its relevance in the modern world and its relationship with the engineering economy are analyzed. Finally, the main aspects that should be included in the curricula of engineering are described and certain measures for the implementation of these concepts are recommended.

Palabras clave : financial education; engineering training; engineering economy; classroom project.
