• 1.0 INTRODUCTION
• Engineering is a term used for the profession in which a
knowledge of the mathematical and natural sciences, gained
by study, experience, and practice, is applied to the efficient
use of the materials and forces of nature. The term Engineer
properly denotes a person who has received professional
training in pure and applied science. Between the professional
engineer and the craftsman or tradesman, are those
individuals known as sub-professionals or paraprofessionals,
who apply scientific and engineering skills to technical
problems. Typical of these, are engineering aides, technicians,
inspectors, draftsmen, and the like.

– NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
• National Development refers to the ability of a
country to improve the social welfare of the
people by providing social amenities like good
education, infrastructure, medical care and
social services.

• 1.3 THE ROLE OF ELECTRONICS ENGINEER IN
NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
• The role of ELECTRONICS Engineer in national
development refers to the application of the
knowledge of the mathematical and natural
sciences, gained by study, experience, and
practice in the provision of social amenities
like good education, infrastructure, medical
care and social services.
• 2.0 SPECIFIC ASPECTSOF. NATIONAL
DEVELOPMENT IN WHICH ENGINEERS PLAY A
VITAL ROLE
• Specific Aspects of National Development
in which Engineers Play a Vital Role are:
 .
• 2.1 Educational Growth
• Engineers play the role of guidance and counselling of
students at tender age at secondary school level in taking
decision on the choice of courses of career by sensitizing
them towards the technical and engineering discipline.
• Engineers in tertiary institution ie Polytechnic and
Universities prepare the undergraduate by taking them
through the practical knowledge of their different fields of
engineering thereby impacting upon them from their
wealth of knowledge and experience.
• Engineers inculcate in the undergraduates the need for
entrepreneurial skills for sustainable development rather
than seeking and indulging in the get rich quick practices.
• 2.2 Community Development.
• The ELECTRONICS Engineer deals with the
creation, improvement, and protection of the
communal environment, providing facilities for
living, industry and transportation, including large
buildings, roads, bridges, canals, railroad lines,
airports, water-supply systems, dams, irrigation,
harbors, docks, aqueducts, tunnels, and other
engineered constructions within a given
community.
 .
• 2.5 Engineers and Politics.
• Decision making for National Development is made at
the highest level of Government. Involvement of
Engineers in politics affords them the opportunity to be
at these policy/decision making bodies. Engineers at
these levels, use their professional knowledge to
attract and defend important engineering
infrastructural development projects. Similarly,
Engineers in politics contribute to the enhancement of
the welfare of other Engineers thereby motivating
them to higher productivity for national development.
 .
• 2.6 Engineers in Public Service.
• Most of the ELECTRONICS Engineering Development
Projects are being conceptualized, designed,
supervised, evaluated and certified by the Engineers in
the Public Service. These Engineers also ensure that
these projects are executed according to specifications.
They also make necessary input towards the
procurement of Engineering Projects.
