capacity in engineering institutions in Afghanistan.1. IntroductionIt is well known that educational institutions, like other institutions in war-affected countries,will be devastated by long wars. Rebuilding the countries’ infrastructure requires resources interms of finance as well as human resources. Within those human resources, well experiencedengineers and technicians are essential for vital sectors such as energy, transportation,telecommunication, agriculture, mining and construction.Afghanistan is regrettably one of those countries which have been affected by wars for nearlyfour decades. However, after the creation of the new government with the assistance from theinternational community in 2001, many public and private engineering

, The Engineer of 2020 concludes (p. 56) with the fact that an engineerin 2020 must be flexible and capable of operating in a world where “social, cultural, political,and economic forces will continue to shape and affect the success of technological innovation”(p. 53): Given the uncertain and changing character of the world in which 2020 engineers will work, engineers will need something that cannot be described in a single word. It involves dynamism, agility, resilience, and flexibility. Not only will technology change quickly, the social-political-economic world in which engineers work will change continuously. In this context it will not be this or that particular knowledge that engineers will need but rather the ability to
