Abstract

Worldwide there is a need for training of engineers to work within the framework of Coastal Zone Management. This has effects on the education of engineers. Moreover, the requirements for an educational program for coastal engineers from developing countries are quite different from the requirements for the training of engineers from the industrialized world. In a university course for engineers from developing countries more attention has to be paid to the development of capabilities to come to practical solutions given the local constraints and to be able to assess the work done by foreign consultants.
