IMPACT OF THE FOURTH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH IN THE FIELD OF AGRICULTURAL ENGINEERING IN EGYPT AND ARAB WORLD by Tarek FOUDA

“…The knowledge revolution resulted in a society with special features called the knowledge society, which imposed a set of roles and responsibilities, and thus the transformation of universities in developed countries into investment universities, which made them required to change their structural, financial and administrative policy to change their outputs, which led to increased restrictions on universities, and also imposed competition between Universities in the production of knowledge so that the pressure on universities increased and they need to provide more knowledge because they are the only ones that provide human elements at the highest level to lead the community.…”
