The proposed project focuses on strengthening Egypt's engineering and technical education under the Ministry of Higher Education. The objectives of the proposed project are: (a) to improve the quality and occupational relevance of university engineering education; and (b) to improve the quality of secondary and post-secondary technical education. To achieve these objectives, the project would comprise the following components: (a) an Engineering Education Development Program providing upgrading of facilities, laboratory equipment, instructional materials, and staff development to move existing university engineering faculties toward a more applied orientation through stronger linkages with industry, more relevant curricula and better qualified teaching staff; and (b) a Technical Teacher Education Program providing instructional equipment and technical assistance to initiate a new and reformed system for the professional preparation of high quality theory-cum-practice instructors to serve the secondary and post-secondary technical schools and institutes by establishing two new technical teacher training colleges.
