The National Competitive Scheme was developed by Higher Education with the consideration of many strategic production sectors which were undeveloped, also the relation of various fields of technology. Besides that, the technology involved in the strategic sector had experienced a rapid progress, so that it required the more extensive efforts to master the technological advances. Therefore, it was necessary to have the more comprehensive effort to map the related technology roadmap with the development of strategic production sector and to implement in the production activity.(dh)
