摘要
Universities in Africa have a particular need to educate engineers with a strong sense of ethics. Ashesi University College has developed an engineering programme that includes its trademark strengths of a liberal arts core including critical thinking, communication, and problem solving, along with ethics, leadership skills, and commitment to positive change. Ideally, this programme will educate students who will help create a new era of progress in African industry and infrastructure.
