Abstract

Technology and knowledge have evolved rapidly. Engineering education need to be adjusted so that it can guarantee the quality of the graduates, both knowledge and skills. The graduates should be able to perform their basic tasks which are required by their employers. Therefore, the educational program must be designed, conducted, and evaluated coherently to the desired graduate attributes that fit with the industrial requirements. This article brought the contents presented in Chemical Engineering Education journal on the title of “the future of engineering education: revisited” and added some local contents on each subtopic to reflect Thailand situation in comparison with the oversea programs.
