Article regarding to Engineering Education ~♥ ENGINEERING EDUCATION: An engineer must study sciences and their application, resources and their conversion, and man and his needs. The first stage of professional preparation is usually a collage degree, but in the present-day-world, where rapid change is the rules, learning must be continuous. Undergraduate Curriculum. The integrated undergraduate engineering program, developed primarily in Europe and the U.S. over the past century, provides the basic education for entrance into the profession. It provides opportunities for students to master important concepts; to become adept in powerful techniques; to develop creative approaches to problem solving; and to become skillful in oral, written, graphic, and mathematical communication. By integrating the study of humanities, social sciences, mathematics, physical sciences, and technology and by providing experience in analysis, synthesis, and experimentation, the undergraduate engineering program offers a modern liberal education. The typical curriculum leading to the bachelor’s degree is defined by series of courses.. General, education is provided by a pattern of courses selected, from the humanities and social sciences. Basic science education includes mathematics, physics, computer programming, and often statistics, chemistry, and biology. Engineering sciences include materials, mechanics, thermodynamics, transfer and rate processes, electrical science, electronics, and information processing. The combination of general education with basic and engineering science may provide the common preparations for all engineering students at a given institution. Specialization to meet the needs and interests of individuals is offered through majors or options — combinations of courses to provide depth in a specific branch or function. Graduate Study. More and more engineers in the U.S.A., U.S.S.R., Japan and other countries hold advanced degrees. In engineering, graduate study is characterized by highly sophisticated concepts, more advanced mathematics, greater depth in special topics, more opportunity for individual work, and less dependence on formal courses. Modern trends. Early engineers were trained by apprenticeship to a skilled practitioner. As the body of knowledge gained by observation, testing, and research increased, organized programmes of study were initiated in established institutions. Following World War—Il, new trends became apparent, the result of the rapidly growing body of theoretical knowledge. Greater emphasis was placed on mathematics, physical science, and the engineering science. The current trend is toward more basic and less applied courses, greater use of computers and probability theory, and, at least in some countries, additional humanities and social sciences.
