Current state and trajectory of design engineering in Kenya
Hailemichael Teshome Demissie
In the last few decades, the methods and models of engineering design practices have changed drastically due to the introduction of better technology and sophisticated design tools. Engineers are now moving away from manual design and drafting using A4 paper sheets, rulers and tri-squares to the use of computer-aided engineering tools in designing and manufacturing. These new advances in engineering design practices have led to huge increases in efficiency gains in engineering practices that, in turn, result in better infrastructure and, ultimately, economic growth and social development. Kenya needs to pay more attention to the changes in technology and ...
