The anatomy of change

Abstract

Over the years, the education system all over the world has gone through major changes. The static body of ‘necessary’ knowledge, considered essential for preparing students to function for a lifetime in rapidly changing professions, has also rapidly shifted. In engineering, there has been an increasing decline of emphasis on handbook design, and more and more educators have realized that they must turn out engineers whose minds will be trained to enable them to identify and solve problems not yet visualized.
