Description

Abstract
ENGINITE focused on the design, development and establishment of a new industrial-oriented postgraduate vocational training programme, which used synchronous methods to set a higher standard level for engineering training. In its essence, ENGINITE aimed at changing the way in which engineers are trained; in turn, industry and economy are benefited. At the same time, the existing gap between academia and industry was bridged by integrating ‘theory’ with ‘practice’ using the Problem Based Learning (PBL) approach for teaching and learning. Furthermore, ENGINITE strengthened the recruitment potential of the participants and leverages the industry’s quest for high qualified engineers. Thus, young engineers had the opportunity to enhance their competences and capabilities, apply their industrial-based knowledge provided so far and gain real working experience.
