The CE environment in a global arena is being highlighted and its tools for success are discussed in detail. The paper explores the implementation of Concurrent Engineering as a new trend in engineering and Management in the less industrialized nations, which addresses three main areas: people, process, and technology. The expectations of engineering graduates which will continue to change significantly in light of the popularity of CE philosophy are also discussed. The paper also focuses on major hindrances to the implementation of CE. Lessons for Companies in less industrialized nations like Zimbabwe are drawn from international role models in CE such as Boeing’s Ballistic System Division and NCR.
