Abstract:

The continuing demand for life-long learning and availability of quality engineering personnel is strategically important to the economic welfare of today’s businesses and industries. This unparalleled need is essentially provoked by swift changes in advanced technologies and an evermore-global competitive environment. The success of this workforce will then be depended on the availability of an educational system capable of responding to these new requirements, which are being met by application of technology and fostered by some educational institutions as well as their partners in corporate and industrial sectors.

The fundamental principle of access to education ‘at any time, any place, any where, and any how’ have resulted in an explosion of new alliances such as Western Governors, Southern Regional and Open University – USA. At the same time, a review of the Society of Manufacturing Engineers, Manufacturing Education Plan clearly outlines emerging skills such as Personal attributes (values), communication and teamwork as prerequisites for success.

This presentation specifically focus on:

• A historical perspective, • Recent developments and collaborations,
