Contextualising Engineering Education to 21st Century - MBA Style Education for Engineering

The skills required in an engineer of 21^st century are not limited to technical understanding. The engineering field has been become more multidisciplinary and evolved than before. Moreover, the generation Z is characterised by different traits from its previous generations such as fast learning and shorter attention span. In view of these, pedagogical changes needed are discussed in this paper which not only address the needs from the engineers today but also suit the current generation. The suggested pedagogical changes are discussed with respect to delivering content and also evaluation methods. Some of the methods discussed are inspired from those practiced at business institutes.
