REFLECTIONS ON ENHANCING THE QUALITY OF ENGINEERING EDUCATION

We are observing a trend where there is a reducing interest for the engineering profession and an increasing penetration of "learning providers" in the education market. A sweeping reform in the content and method of engineering education is long due. Actively participating in engineering education international conferences has encouraged the author to review his approach towards teaching. We hope that a "collaborat ive reflective work" on these changes will help in creating a more effective learning environment.
