摘要：AbstractThis paper reviews the existing framework on Engineering Education in Nigeria with emphasis on what is missing in the existing Engineering Education curriculum and what is required to turn the abundant resources into finished products using the Total Engineering Design Model. The paper proposes what should qualify an engineer to teach engineering, what to teach (the contents of the curriculum) and the environment where to teach (the facilities that make an environment amenable). The authors of this work believes that if inclusion of product design process and inventing principles are sufficiently incorporated in the engineering curriculum, it will make a lot of difference to the economy and technology growth within the next decade. Suggestions are presented here (especially on product design and development process) for technological desires that Nigeria intends to pursue to be attainable.
