With increasing student populations, and slow physical infrastructure and human resource expansions, institutions of higher learning are finding themselves at the crossroads. The adoption of digital technologies to offer courses in Engineering will go a long way towards expanding access to education. As this happens, we must be careful not to repeat the same mistakes that those ahead went through. That way we shall be assured of faster development.

It is extremely important that universities come to speed about recognizing the need for students to be more familiar with what industry wants. Communication between the two sides is an imperative. Technological innovations will be necessary for more frequent contacts between the two sides to develop greater meaning over digital methods.
