Engineering is essentially what makes a civilization progress. Without engineers and engineering، humans would be living in caves. Every great  society has had its engineers، and completed great engineering feats. Unfortunately, in the recent past, engineering has not been very popular with Maldivian students. One reason is that, in the push for universalization of secondary education, only the cheaply taught commerce subjects were offered to secondary school students; science subjects were not offered. Without science, (and without mathematics) engineering is not possible; for engineering is the application of science and mathematics for solving human problems.

In this section, I am including some articles on engineering that I have written over the years.
