Engineering education reform
Article Abstract:
Engineering education needs major changes if engineers are to remain successful in the 21st century. Engineers have emphasized too much on technical proficiency but lack understanding in other disciplines. They need greater technical and managerial abilities, which the inadequate four-year bachelor's degree cannot provide.
