Thiss calls for an exxpansion of thhe engineeringg technologgy program too increase thee number of ttechnical gradduates. Howeever, various cchallenges are faced by thee institutionns in the impleementation of the Engineeriing Technologgy programs, wwhich have siggnificant negattive impact onn the nationn in general aand, in particuular the graduuates from thee programs.
