BASE ProjectEngineering education for Energy sector
using eLearning
A partnership for competence development in engineering for the energy sector between Norway & Eastern Africa
The East African region is facing the shortage of engineers
• Middle income countries• 1 engineer : 2000 people
• Industrialized countries• 20 engineers: 10,000 people
UNESCO engineer ratios:
• 44.35 M Population• Actual engineers: 6330• Current # engineers needed:
• Middle income range:• 22,175.00
• Industrialized range:• 88,700.00

Engineering Gap in Kenya to reach indstrial-ized nation ranges
The story of civilization is, in a sense, the story of engineering - that long and arduous struggle to make the forces of nature work for man's good.

East African countries faces a Petroleum boom• Tanzania -> Norwegian Statoil
and Dutch Shell/BG found more than 51 trillion cubic feet natural gas offshore
• Mosambique -> US Anadarko and Italian ENI have found more than 200 trillion cubic feet natural gas offshore
• Uganda -> 500 billion cubic feet of natural gas and 6.5 billion barrels of oil
• Kenya -> Predictions hold 10 billion barrels of oil - enough to run Kenya for 300 years!
