It is making substantial investments in highereducation, particularly in engineering and science, to develop the human capacity toaccomplish this transition.References Page 21.35.7 1) See http

This is (with a look to the Europeanand in special case the German Situation) the only explanation as to why the EHEA(European Higher Education Area) has declared the fostering of these actions as the essenceof BA Courses of study (Cf. in addition the EU’s demand voiced in the program “New skillsfor new jobs”, which perceives the fostering of the previously presented skills as a keycharacteristic of BA-Courses of study [1]).So it is useful to understand, that BA-Courses have two functions (or that it is a duality).

the needs of employers and the profession. Developments from the 1996 review ofengineering education 1 changed the accreditation process from an input (content-based) approachto program development to an outcomes-based approach. This change allowed and encouraged adiversity of approaches to education, while attempting to ensure the same quality of outcome.Since that time, engineering programs throughout Australia have been attempting to implementthe new requirements, which have required the use of constructive alignment of learningoutcomes, learning and teaching activities and assessment. The recent ALTC-supported project“Engineers for the Future” 2 supported this requirement.Although some institutions have implemented the changed curriculum

Hofstede’s fivedimensions of culture is one such definition that is quite specific10: 1.

Their power systems engineers said such a system would require a 1 hp pump, that withsolar cells would account for 80% of the system cost. The irrigation engineers identified that90% of the pressure drop in the system occurs over the drip emitters. And the productionengineers noted that low-density polyethylene is the cheapest material they work with, and thatother materials, such as silicone, significantly drive up the cost of the drippers. It took thiscompany-wide engagement to realize that the largest opportunity to reduce system cost was byreducing pressure in the system, to reduce pumping power
