Nigeria has become a temporary signatory to washing accord, which gives engineers from member states opportunity to work in member countries without restriction or recertifications.
EngineeringXpress is a sustainable engineering education project sponsored by the Royal Academy of Engineering, Lloyd’s Register Foundation and Onyia Construction with collaboration of Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria COREN, Nigeria Society of Engineers and Association of Professional Women Engineers of Nigeria, APWEN and University of Nigeria, UNN.
The Principal Investigator and coordinator of EngineeringXpress Dr. Uzor Onyia explained that unlike the disjointed structure currently in place, the introduced curriculum guidelines and academia-industry framework is designed to close the gap between industry and academia. Expanding the role of the industry in training of future engineers and ensuring that academic research projects are led by industrial emerging trends and technologies.
