The Value of Design & Engineering Education in a Knowledge Age<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the Knowledge Age<\/em>, technology and ideas are the main sources of economic growth, and this requires workers with new and different skills.<\/p>\n

Knowledge is more than what is in the minds of experts or classified within separate disciplines.<\/p>\n

Knowledge is now defined and valued not only by what it is, but also by its potential as a driver for innovation.<\/p>\n
