The curriculum is highly structured and there is little room to take liberal arts orinterdisciplinary courses to broaden their education. Not enough emphasis is placed onprofessional competencies which are important for today’s engineers competing in a globalmarket. Accreditation as a relatively new phenomenon in the developing countries face thechallenge of ensuring quality based on standards while also facilitating innovations in education.There is a lack of resources for upgrading laboratories, shortage of trained teachers to teacheffectively and make the course
