Abstract
- Global competitiveness and economic success depend on capacity to generate, develop, and utilize knowledge for betterment of societies, strongly linked to engineering higher education.
- Abu-Goukh et. al.(2013) [1] analysed the impact of engineering curriculum reform on economic growth and sustainability, and Markes (2006) [2] and Thom (1998) [3] focused on industry’s perspective and its demands on engineering graduates.
- Quality education has become the main gate to human capital development, which is now counted as the most important determinant of national sustainable development
- ME an underpinning factor of industrial and socioeconomic development ME in Africa only now emerging and is yet to demonstrate any real impact on economic development
