Zukime, Mat Junoh Engineering education Globalization Economic growth Technological revolution Engineers Engineering Organized by Centre for Communication Skills and Entrepreneurship UniMAP in collaboration with The Ministry of Higher Education Malaysia, 5th - 6th December 2008 at Putra Palace Hotel, Perlis. Technological transformation which has taken the shape of technological revolution can be of great help in the economic development of emerging economies. Engineers have always played an important role in the economic growth of a country. High tech engineers add measurable greater value to the economy giving them an edge. The global market is consistently growing through a technological boom in areas like nanotechnology, logistics, high performing computing and biotechnology. This has brought in a shift in the requirement and availability of engineers especially in the emerging economies. A functional relationship between the numbers of high tech engineers and the GDP of a nation is proposed. We study the rate of the GDP growth as a function of change in the rate of change of high tech engineers. The study is carried out for developing as well as developed economies. 2009-05-09T07:22:49Z 2009-05-09T07:22:49Z 2008-12-05 Working Paper p.622-633 http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/5683 en International Conference on the Roles of the Humanities and Social Sciences in Eengineering 2008 (ICOHSE08) Universiti Malaysia Perlis |
