This paper tackles the importance of capacity-building and Industry 4.0. preparation in higher technical education where sustainable learning approaches start gaining a place. The primary study objective focuses on developing a combined curricular implementation of an applied didactic and career-promoting tool. A sequence of applied tasks related to the Mechanics of materials course and supported by English as Medium of Instruction (EMI) allowed to teach technical topics through the English Language. The transversal competences’ framework strengthened training activities and created a meaningful connection to a professional e-portfolio artefact design. Quality task and presentation deliveries, remarkable e-portfolio contributions and student satisfaction questionnaires motivate applying this methodology to specialisation courses in engineering training. The findings help establish new models for higher education institutions' teaching and learning.
