The present article highlights the importance of the English language in the career of the students of engineering both in global and local contexts. The main objective of this article is to explore the impact of English language on the career of the students of engineering all over the world in general and in Nepal in particular. Based primarily on the literature review for the necessary data, it reveals the fact that the English language is a most essential language for the students of engineering not only in Nepal but it is equally relevant in the global context as well. It suggests that there is widespread application of English language in the feld of engineering. Journal of the Institute of Engineering, 2015, 11(1): 182-188
This paper presents the findings of a research carried out on the impact of English language proficiency on the job grabbing process of the engineers in Nepal and a few other countries. Based mainly on the review of literature that were available in the internet websites, this paper sheds light on the facts that the English language proficiency is extremely important for the global engineers today. It reveals that the ability to communicate in English efficiently in their workplace is of paramount importance for engineers not only in Nepal but also in the other countries. In the present day context, the employers want to hire merely those candidates who possess sufficient proficiency in English.Journal of the Institute of Engineering, 2018, 14(1): 223-234
After the globalization, the attention of the world is turning to economy. The world power is shifted to economy. There has been a paradigm shift- the physical resources; such as, minerals, lands, etc. as the property, has changed. The world is expanding to a global village and societies are heading towards knowledge base economy. By now, a country cannot survive in a closed boundary as before. The result of this is obviously cognitive revolution along with the continuous innovation. Above this, the effect of globalization is turning the world to the international partnerships diversifying the workforce and resulting to demographic shifts. The education, more precisely the engineering higher education, should be able to load individual the depth knowledge and skill that makes people capable and competent. In the course of time, the role of engineering education is increasing. This article is shedding light on the strategies for the reform of engineering education in Nepal eventually attaining quality.Keywords : Engineering educationDOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jie.v8i1-2.5096Journal of the Institute of Engineering Vol. 8, No. 1&2, 2010/2011Page: 48-63Uploaded Date: 19 July, 2011
This study is the part of the outcome of the research work on quality of engineering education in Nepal. Some 246 respondents among the stakeholders of engineering education were referred in this research. In the course of time, the pace of development of the engineering education is appreciable. However, there are the voices from different stakeholders that the existing level of graduating engineers from Nepal are not meeting the standard demanded by the market. In the course of time, pressure has been intensified to respond this in prevailing education system. This has developed concern over the competency parameters as the tools of quality in engineering higher education. This study, therefore is an attempt to explore the competency level of the graduating engineers of Nepal. In this study, some prominent competency parameters influencing quality of engineering education were identified.
