OBJECTIVES OF THE CONFERENCE
This Forum is to provide a platform for educators, professional organizations and industry leaders from all over the world in general and the African Region in particular, to discuss and proffer solutions to common problems in engineering education. Also, the Forum will critically examine approaches to teaching, learning and curriculum structures that would advance engineering education in resource-constrained environments like African nations. It is anticipated that the Forum will foster exchange of information, links, and collaboration between member nations on the one hand and the rest of the world on the other. Currently, graduates from most African Universities may find it difficult to compete globally because of the inherent challenges in the training institutions. The major challenge confronting academics is to produce with limited resources global engineers that espouse attributes found in the notions of innovation, entrepreneurship and sustainability. The Forum will deliberate on tangible ideas on how to produce with lean resources, engineers with necessary skills and orientation that can compete globally.
