here. Most did share one common design feature: service threaded through thecurriculum, especially one experience early (first-year) and one in the last year (capstonedesign). Most plans had general education plans that supported the service, by preparing studentsfor broader thinking and interaction with communities.The second of the Summit offered solutions to some of the major costs for LTS in engineering,most notably the financial resources needed to make this happen. In light of EWB’s presence atso many campuses, much engineering service to date partners with international communities --this is an ongoing financial challenge at most institutions, and expanding similar activity to more(all) engineering students would not be possible

This paper isfocused on explaining the similarities and differences of the two systems and attempts to exploreways of harmonizing the two so that the two systems are better coordinated.IntroductionFormal engineering education in Afghanistan began with the establishment of the Faculty ofEngineering in Kabul, as part of the Faculty of Science, in 1956 with the first graduates in 1959.Through a contract with the United States Agency for International Development and the RoyalGovernment of Afghanistan, the University of Wyoming guided the new faculty.
