Abstract

Engineering education is important in providing solutions to problems that face humankind. Zimbabwe has gone through a period of economic decline characterised by myriad of challenges, some of which requires engineering solutions. It is only when the quality of engineers from educational institutions is of high quality, that any such problems can be resolved. This paper presents the journey that the National University of Science and Technology (NUST) in Zimbabwe took towards improving engineering education. A two year project sponsored by the Royal Academy of Engineering (RAE), UK, saw NUST as a hub institution in Sub-Saharan Africa working with several spoke institutions in both Industry and Academia. The project sought to develop and strengthen relationships between academia and industry through secondment programmes to bridge skills and knowledge deficiencies. This was achieved through secondment of junior lecturers to industry, as well as skilled industrial players to the NUST. Knowledge sharing and skills transfer was achieved during this project, ultimately leading to improved engineering education. Relevance of engineering programmes at the NUST was also reviewed and improvements implemented. This will result in sustainable engineering educational changes and industry ready engineers. Important networks were established and these are key to sustainability.
