This report reviews engineering's importance to human, economic, social and cultural development and in addressing the UN Millennium Development Goals. Engineering tends to be viewed as a national issue, but engineering knowledge, companies, conferences and journals, all demonstrate that it is as international as science. The report reviews the role of engineering in development, and covers issues including poverty reduction, sustainable development, climate change mitigation and adaptation. It presents the various fields of engineering around the world and is intended to identify issues and challenges facing engineering, promote better understanding of engineering and its role, and highlight ways of making engineering more attractive to young people, especially women.--Publisher's description.
Introduction to the report -- What is engineering? -- Engineering and human development -- Engineering : emerging issues and challenges -- An overview of engineering -- Engineering around the world -- Engineering for development : applications and infrastructure -- Engineering capacity : education, training and mobility -- Afterword.
