This document appears to be a presentation made to a humanities department on engineering education. It discusses emerging issues and challenges in engineering education, how education has transformed over time, and whether changes are still needed. It presents results from a survey given to teachers and students on topics like whether current engineering education is better than the past, reasons for leaving engineering careers, and motivations for choosing engineering studies. The conclusion recognizes that while engineering education has become more technical, improvements can still be made, such as increasing research activities, technical tours, and improving work conditions and salaries.

4. Emerging issues,
challenges and
opportunities for
engineering relate to
internal and external
factors.
Internally, the
decline of interest
and enrolment of
young people,
especially women
in engineering is a
major concern for
future capacity.
Externally, It relate
to the Millennium

• Investing heavily in basic
infrastructure, which served as a
foundation for technological
learning.
2
• Nurturing the development of
small and medium-sized
enterprises, which required
the development of local
operational, repair and
maintenance expertise.
3
• Govt. supported funded and
nurtured higher education
institutions, academies of
engineering and
technological sciences.

6. Yes, would be the most common answer. However, if we
start counting the no. of institutions that have really
changed to a new institutional model, these will only
present a very low percentage of the total no. of
engineering education institutions. Engineering education
is a foundation for the development of society.
