Pan African engineering body needed
June 6, 2014 Editor 0
The Federation of African Engineering Organisations (FAEO) is seeking the creation of an African Council of Engineering, which would be under the auspices of the African Union (AU). "We have to establish an oversight body to ensure professional standards," FAEO president Martin van Veelen told the 45th Plenary meeting of the National Science and Technology Forum on Friday. He highlighted that the United Nations was going to replace the current Millennium Development Goals with Sustainable Development Goals. Achieving such goals will require a competent and dedicated engineering corps. "Without a proper engineering profession, this [sustainable development] will not happen."
