Abstract
Requirement for mobility of engineers across the national boundaries has changed the traditional demand-supply perspective necessitating recasting of the engineering curricula. The engineers of today must adapt themselves to ethos of the various societies where they would work, must be concerned with the local environmental issues, etc., besides being good in their fields of work. It is essential that the training that is imparted to them should prepare them to these added challenges. We present a blue print for such a curriculum. The focus is on undergraduate studies.
