1- IntroductionTechnical education is distinguished fromothertypes of education , because of :- its direct link to the needs of the labourmarket ;- it promotes the economic and social life ;- it follows-up the new technicalmodifications.

The qualifying of the Technician needsseveral capabilities such as :-Establishing laboratories and specializedworkshops ;-Preparation and qualifying of instructors andtrainers ;-Review of the curricula in accordance with theneeds of the labour market and development.

2- Historical background of Technicaleducation in Sudan :1902 - Gordon Memorial college (GMC) established avocational and technical education secondary school( four years ofstudy : two academic and twovocational ) .1939 - Post secondary technical education introduced .1951- Khartoum Technical Institute (KTI) established byannexing to it all the training units in the differentgovernmental departments . The period of study isthree years after the secondary school .

1962- In the (KTI) , the period of study for the diploma wasincreased from three years to four years .1971- The (KTI) was divided and distributed to a number technicalcolleges in the different regions in the Sudan .1975- The (KTI) was transformed into the Institute of TechnicalColleges (ITC) .1983- The (ITC) started studies ofBachelorTechnology (B. Tech ) the diploma degree .degreeof1990- The (ITC) was transformed to the Sudan University of Scienceand Technology (SUST) .

4- The National ProjectEstablishing Ideal technical colleges(a) College Objectives:-1- Providing scientifically and practicallyqualified technicians able to work inthe changing modern technology.2-Giving due consideration to scarcetechnical specializations .

3 - Giving due consideration to appliedscientificresearchrequiredtothecountry's development plans .4- The selected specialization of thesecolleges must satisfy the local needs of thecommunity around the college premises .

(b) College Tributaries1- Technical secondary schools (industrial,agricultural commercial and woman studies)2- Academic secondary schools.3- Successful students in the qualifying coursefor students of vocational training centersand apprenticeship institutes.

(c) Characteristic features of thecollege:1.2.3.4.5.6.Study system: credit hours systemType of study :Diploma levelNumber of Departments: 3-5 departmentsNumber of semesters : 4-6 semestersStudy hours in class :15-20 credit hoursTotal credit hours for each programme : 70 –110hours.7. Total contact hours (Practical trainingincluded) :1500 - 2500 hours

(d) Preparations : LaboratoriesWorkshopsHalls and theatresOfficesComputer labsEquipment and devicesLibraryPublic utilities, gardens andpassages

(e) Fields of Technical Colleges:1- Technical Engineering Colleges :( Civil Engineering )(Construction - Irrigation and drilling - Sewage system Roads and bridges - Buildings and quantitativemethods - Surveying - Environmental Engineering Hydraulic Engineering)(Electrical Engineering)(Internal Electrical Connections - Electrical Networks Electronic devices- Computer maintenance - ComputerNetwork - Medical equipment and instruments Communication - Electrical Equipment and Devices)

( Mechanical Engineering)(Automobile - Thermal power - Jetengineering - Agricultural Machine Heavy Machines - Air conditioning andRefrigeration - Welding and Smithery Metallurgy – Foundary ).(Petroleum and Mining Engineering )(Drilling - Petroleum refining - Mining Petroleum transport (Pipeline only)

( Textile Engineering)(Trico - Dyeing and Printing - Textile Spinning and Weaving) .( Chemical Engineering)(Food processing - Pharmaceuticalmanufacturing - Leather - Plastics - Oilmanufacturing – Sugar technology ) .

2- Health Technology Colleges:(Medical laboratories - Cardiography - Optics Radiology - Anaesthesia - Stomatology – Dentaltechnology - Public health - Nursing - Artificiallimbs - Physiotherapy)

3- Agricultural Technology Colleges:(Agricultural Mechanization - Cropproduction - Horticulture - Cropprotection - Forestry - Food technology Animal health - Animal production - Soil Ecology and desertification – Pasture)

4- Social and Commercial Technology Colleges:(Accounting - Business administration Computer applications - Guidance and education- Social service - Clinical psychology Kindergarten - Applied statistics – Womandevelopment)

When designing the programmes of thesecolleges , the following points should be noted :1-The programmes are unique and not aprint copy of other ones.2- Special considerations to be given for rarebut important specializations.3- The programmes must obey the localcommunity needs .4- The programmes must fulfill the countrydevelopment needs .

6- Promotion of TechnicalEducationThrough :- Different Mass Media : Written, Spoken &Seen .- Highlighting the role of the technicians indevelopment as a whole and givingexamples of some developed countries suchas UK , Korea , Germany , Japan, , ETC.

- Improvement of employment services .- Close links between the Technical educationand the work sectors .- Exemption from tuition fees .- Offering free accommodation for technicalstudents .- Upgrading of technicians through morequalifications .

7- Challenges Facing TechnicalEducation:1- Improving the ratio of Diploma to B.Sc.2- Finance : government , foreign donations, privatesector , trainee fees .3- Capacity building of teachers and lization.5- Development of curricula to suit the labour market.6- Quality of Technical Education7- Flexibility in admission8- Diversification of programs
