3. OPENING CEREMONY
The opening ceremony was conducted by the President of COREN, Engr. A. A. Rabiu, FNSE, FNICE. In his welcome address, the President said, it has been the sincere desire of COREN to benchmark Nigerian engineering education system and accreditation standards to be in line with global best practices, considering the short and long-term numerous individual, institutional and national benefits therein.
The President recalled that in pursuit of the above goal, in November, 2015, COREN applied to become a member of the Federation of Engineering Institutions of Asia and the Pacific (FEIAP) and was accepted at its General Assembly in Perth 2016. COREN, in 2018, began the process of the application for the provisional signatory status of the Washington Accord (WA) under the International Engineering Alliance, lEA. According to him, such membership requires that COREN make a shift from traditional teaching and learning in Engineering programmes of Nigerian Universities to an Outcome-Based Education system and that the possible advantage of COREN registration with WA, was to have access to employment in other signatory countries without further examinations.
The President urged the participants to take the training seriously and to ensure they impart the knowledge gained on others in their various institutions. The opening ceremony ended with a group photograph.
