Conclusion

Advanced electronics and computer technology has undoubtedly revolutionized the way

engineering sciences and technologies are effectively transferred globally in the shortest amount of

time possible. These resources benefit those countries with competitive advantages in labor

resources and are producing a variety of goods for the world markets.

The engineering academic community currently has access to a wide range of material on the

internet. This has led to an explosion of information, particularly with regard to current research

and teaching methods. Engineering is suited to the use of educational technologies ranging from

simulating dangerous environments, to replacing laboratory and factories difficult to maintain and

impossible to walk through.(2)

The use of computers in engineering education allows practical experiences and help in data

analysis. Although, work would often be impossible without computers, there are many

advantageous in the utilization of computers in teaching and learning but, there are many

difficulties in using the new technologies. A few of these disadvantages are lack of appropriate

software and hardware, lack of time, technical support and technical expertise on behalf of the

instructors, etc.(1)

One issue remains the same; a less developed country’s technological diffusion rates remain the

determinant factor in the successful utilization of scientific knowledge transferred to these

countries. Although, in this era scientific knowledge can be transferred in a much shorter time,

technological advances and innovations are happening at a faster and an exponentially shorter

amount of time. Therefore, LDCs are lagging behind even further. These countries lack the

fundamental expertise and knowledge required for the diffusion of the fragmented sciences and
