Abstract

Engineering is a profession of highly talented few in a society. Engineering and Innovations are the main instruments to improve peoples’ needs and culture; leading to the growth and development of a nation. One of the benefits of higher education is to provide society with an opportunity to reflect on social, economic, moral, cultural, and critical issues. Intensifying the standard of engineering education through skills development will help to increase the invention of new technologies that will improve the growth and development of our country, Nigeria. The study dwells on the problems that engineering graduates in Nigeria face, which are compounded by government underfunding; resulting in poor equipment facilities, obsolete curriculum, and weak university-industry partnerships. The various strategies adopted to intensify the standard of engineering education will contribute to national development through the dissemination of specialized knowledge and skills. This will yield better-trained engineers, improved training methods and facilities, as well as a reduction in the failure of infrastructure.
