It is essential that the engineering graduate receives relevant training in engineering practice as well as in engineering administration and management. Also, to match with the nature of the continuing technological industrial development and the consequent blurring of any clear distinction between the engineering disciplines, it is expected that the training should include multi-disciplinary elements. In this way to widen the experieinces of the graduates so that they can better meet the technological challenges that lie ahead.

The training should be in three parts:

the objectives that all disciplines should meet. e.g. Development of personal qualities, like innovative thinking, negotiation skills, time management and leadership skills

the objectives that all trainees of a discipline must meet. e.g. Aviation legistration for Aircraft Engineer, Generation and transmission of electricity for Electrical Engineer, Slope stability design for Structural Engineer

the objectives set by the company/organization that graduates must meet.
