dc.description.abstractA fundamental cause of the economic backwardness of developing nations is their low level of technological development, resulting from a low application of science and technology for the purposes of development. Accelerated technological and industrial development in these countries, therefore, require some urgent and drastic measures. The application of science and technology to the creation of endogenous technologies is a veritable means of achieving rapid industrialization. This, however, requires skilled technical manpower who are motivated to create endogenous technologies and also develop them into small-scale industries by being willing to take entrepreneurial risks. This paper, therefore, considers ways and means of incorporating endogenous technology development and entrepreneurship into the engineering curricula of developing countries. It also advocates the adoption of Problem Based Learning methodology as a suitable instructional approach for imparting the knowledge, skills, and attitudes (KSAs) required for the successful creation of endogenous technologies and developing them into small-scale industries.en_US
