dc.description.abstract | This report details summaries of presentations and activities of the Engineering for the Americas Symposium, a multisectoral movement to enhance engineering education and technology in the Western Hemisphere. It focused on three issues: the needs of the productive sector for engineering graduates and capacity building; quality assurance in engineering education; and country planning for financing of upgrades to engineering education. The Engineering for the Americas initiative intends to establish a mechanism that allows the creation of educational reforms at the regional level that include the needs of the productive sector. | en |
