The overall aims of the Scotland Committee in this field is to promote engineering excellence and capacity building around the world, particularly in the developing countries, through international cooperation and sharing of good practice.
The report goes on to warn that the offshore engineering skills and capacity required to meet the demand for decommissioning will also be in demand from the renewable energy sector, and that new yards will be required.
There was some discussion on what can be done about this, in the context of improved engineering education, training and capacity building and the promotion of the public understanding of engineering.
In the areas of science and engineering, UNESCO promotes capacity-building and mobilizes international communities to collaborate around scientific challenges that cannot be addressed by any one nation alone.
Within the technology sector I expect more interest in IBM and Microsoft, obviously multinationals, but very inexpensive properties with innate capacity for financial engineering, namely stock buybacks, rising dividends and fill-in acquisitions.
But to take advantage of these new opportunities African countries will need to strengthen its technical capacity, especially in the engineering fields.

Lastly, this UNESCO-ASME collaboration aims to expand the capacity and efficacy of the engineering workforce as well as create new opportunities in multi-disciplinary areas.
The theme running through these properties is low to moderate price-earnings ratios, impeccable balance sheet strength, high free cash flow generation and the capacity to indulge in financial engineering in the form of share buybacks, dividends and deal activity.
Now duplicate engineering efforts and factories running at less than full capacity are a luxury GM can't afford.
Siemens signed an agreement with DONG Energy on Thursday to design and manufacture the 300 turbines, which would have a total capacity of 1, 800 megawatts, the engineering company said.

This, in turn, means clever engineering can increase the surface area (and thus the storage capacity) without increasing the volume.
As a key component of the UNESCO s Project "Strategic Strengthening of Flood Warning and Management Capacity of Pakistan", the workshop was organized at NUST Institute of Civil Engineering from 20-23 Dec, 2011 in cooperation with National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), Pakistan Metrological Department (PMD), SUPARCO and other partner organizations.
