But in orderto insure that this aid is not wasted, the population of these countries must be prepared toact in partnership with the donor nations in monitoring funds distribution and assessingtheir impact on the economic welfare of their countries.This paper argues two points. First, foreign aid in the US and other developed countriesmust be raised to a minimum of .7% of the combined GDP of the developed countries.Second, 10% of that foreign aid must be earmarked for higher learning in engineering andtechnology in order to increase economic development and its concomitant result,alleviation of poverty.

Not only because of the complicatednature of the question, but also due to the fact that collaborative efforts of engineeringeducators are needed to tackle this issue. We set our premise of this paper to raise theissue, and to give the following suggestions.In this paper, we use China as an example to explore the exportation model from anengineering education perspective.
