  • Abstract
    This paper discussed the role of ICT in the world of work and development in science and technology. It considers the potentialities of using ICT in the teaching and learning technical and engineering education in Nigeria. Among the ways through which ICT can be integrated into TEE include: the use CD-ROMS, videodisks, electronic encyclopedia, and video libraries, computer assisted instruction, animation, web-based and computer aided design (CAD). Similarly, the paper highlighted some of the problems facing the efforts of integrating ICT into technical and engineering education and training. It concluded with suggestions on how to integrate the technology in technical and engineering education delivery process.
