Futures studies is in fact not an alien component in the design and development of curriculum for fields orsubjects such as engineering in developed countries. For example, via futures technique, Rowan University ofNew Jersey decided to integrate biology in the future chemical engineering curriculum as their findings showedthat the integration seems to be the future for chemical engineering programs nation and worldwide (SaedahSiraj, 2002a). The integration of biology in the chemical engineering curriculum claimed to help preparestudents for careers in food, biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries in the future. On the other hand,Michael and Laurence (2000) in their review of the undergraduate civil engineering curriculum of GeorgiaInstitute of Technology for the future emphasized adoption of a system’s perspective for civil andenvironmental engineering; the incorporation of sustainability, technical communications and professionalethics into the curriculum; the importance of team problem-solving; and the strong emphasis on science inundergraduate education is expected to provide the students with a strong foundation for future success. Therole of future engineers is also undertaken to have different roles as leaders of society as is indicated in PurdueUniversity curriculum (Michael & Laurence, 2000) for future engineer as indicated in Figure 1.It is pertinent that, other countries especially developing countries like Malaysia, should adopt similarinitiatives to develop the nation’s own design of future curriculum based on research to plan better for futuregenerations, rather than “adopt and adapt” curriculum developed by other countries which may not suit to theneeds of this country. Our own future curriculum should be developed rooted from our own presentenvironment, society and culture but not based on other countries’ context.
