Teaching engineering is a highly significant task. Engineering is not a self-taught discipline; it requires supervision, guidance, and instruction. This paper discusses some of the main features of current engineering education in many institutions and its challenges. A number of suggestions are provided to enhance the engineering education process. These include the importance of teaching communication skills, broadening the students’ perspective with the ethical issues of engineering, and implementing the inductive instruction technique as an effective approach for teaching engineering. Suggestions are also given regarding assessment of the performance of engineering students.
