The paper concludes withobservations about the ethical and cultural nature of engineering education and somerecommendations about changes that are required to achieve the desired outcomes of therebuilding project.Historical Backdrop:The Faculty of Engineering was established in the 1960’s and 70’s by a consortium of USUniversities with USAID sponsorship1,2. The project was a “turn-key” project that provided abuilding, laboratories, and US based education for the new Afghan Faculty members.

They will gain independence, and will be better able tounderstand and work with other cultures. Students will learn another culture’s language ofengineering, including engineering philosophy, approach, and ethics. A wide range ofengineering exchanges will allow students more flexibility in finding programs that meet theirpersonal, professional, and academic goals. Engineering exchanges allow students more complete immersion in the host countryculture, to include the engineering culture.
