the university [8]. This will reducetheir training cost somewhat and give university feedback to the students in ethicalchallenges. Outreach programs should be renovated. Under graduate researches should turntheir style from traditional to practice based nontraditional applications. New EngineeringResearch Centers should be made and industries should buy in such efforts. Design clinicsshould be held in summer with the technical assistance of industries to train and motivatestudents. Increase in global cooperative education should be nurtured. Engineering studentsshould have compulsory participation in engineering student organizations which can providethem a vehicle for service to the engineering college and the surrounding community
