This was motivated by the perennial shortage of engineers and engineering skills to drive industry in Southern Africa, compounded by the mismatch of skills between those produced by tertiary institutions and those required by industry. This book focuses on the insufficiencies in training, through addressing the gap where the majority of engineering academics? qualifications at MSc/MEng level fall short of the internationally acceptable PhD/DEng/DTech. In order to address such insufficiencies, the book proposes and advocates for reskilling and doctoral training of engineering academics through the proposed and established DTCs within the region. The book is targeted at graduate students, engineering academics, researchers, university administrators, foreign aid agencies, captains of industry and policy-makers in governments. To all these readers, the book offers: Development of indigenous engineering capacities and skills for economic growth in industrialising countries; Bridging the gap between industry and academia through areas of strategic importance; Upskilling of engineers and engineering academics to PhD level through DTCs, for the provision of solutions to national and regional challenges. 410 0$aEAI/Springer Innovations in Communication and Computing,$x2522-8609 606 $aEngineering design 606 $aTechnical education 606 $aResearch$xMethodology 606 $aTechnological innovations 606 $aEngineering Design 606 $aEngineering and Technology Education 606 $aResearch Skills 606 $aInnovation and Technology Management 615 0$aEngineering design. 615 0$aTechnical education. 615 0$aResearch$xMethodology. 615 0$aTechnological innovations. 615 14$aEngineering Design. 615 24$aEngineering and Technology Education. 615 24$aResearch Skills. 615 24$aInnovation and Technology Management. 676 $a620.0042 700 $aNyemba$b Wilson R$0913678 701 $aCarter$b Keith F$01732966 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910842496403321 996 $aDoctoral Training in Engineering$94147935 997 $aUNINA
