A Y 2 K Imperative : the Globalisation of Engineering Education *
نویسنده
چکیده
The UNEP-WFEO sponsored conference held in Paris during September 1997 concluded that there was much to be gained through the international benchmarking of engineering degrees. A key outcome from this conference, which was attended by academics and business representatives from 27 countries, was a template for an international engineering degree. This paper explores the rationale for such a degree, highlights the advantages of internationalisation, analyses the environment that made such a proposal possible, and contemplates the probable nature of any obstacles to the implementation of such a program.
