How to Train an Engineer a Proposed Model
Subscribe/Renew Journal
This paper explores the difference between an employable engineer and a graduate engineer and proposes a model to reduce/ eliminate the disconnect between the two.The Industry operates in a fast-paced, dynamically changing environment. Universities are steeped in academic tradition and although they may be amenable to change, inertia is high and change is a slow process. Industry and Academia are two very different worlds who do not share a common language. This paper proposes a training model, which involves the introduction of a layer between these two worlds, a communication and feedback medium that can help bridge the divide. The focus is on a symbiotic relationship between Universities, Technical Finishing Schools (who can cater to the vocational training of an Engineer), and the Industry.
