| dc.description.abstract | One of Uganda’s development goals is to reduce the proportion of the population living in absolute poverty through a program for modernizing agriculture. In light of the need to provide the manpower required for implementing the development program, the practical component of the undergraduate agricultural engineering (AE) curriculum at Uganda’s Makerere University was reexamined. In this investigation, a survey of students and alumni/employers was conducted with respect to practical training educational needs. The findings show that the curriculum needs adjustments as a first step towards producing graduates that are more of job creators and less of job seekers. | |
