This chapter starts with a brief history of engineering from the time of the pyramids in Egypt. The word “engineer” is applied to many occupations from train driver to computer programmers. The industrial revolution in the mid-eighteenth-century saw the need for training of engineers who understood the scientific and industrial principles of structures, mechanics, heat engines, electric motors, and fluid mechanics. Higher education institutions were founded to train what are now known as professional engineers who have completed a 3- or 4- year university degree. Then follows a review of professional engineering education in each of the Asia-Pacific signatories to the Washington Accord: Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, Pakistan, Singapore, Sri Lanka, and Taiwan. The history, status, and curricula of undergraduate professional engineering courses in each of these countries are examined.
