Engineering teaching and learning: A contemporary globalization style

摘要

With the appearance of globalization and hence the digital era, education has become more accessible and challenging than ever. Consequently, each field of education becomes broader, knowledge has been reduced to a commodity, authorities ripen into management schisms and information becomes redundant and somehow uncontrolled. Perhaps the contemporary young generation are more savvy, cunning and market oriented than their counterparts in the 20th Century. Certainly, this questions the stereotypical concepts of traditional engineering education at graduate and post graduate levels. This paper is an attempt to highlight and share some experience towards contemporary teaching and learning in Engineering with practical examples.
