The delivered product wasnot merely an assembly of parts, but the result of collaboration from a number of mindswith varying skill sets and backgrounds. This experience has given the students a chanceto apply their education in a real world setting. The success is clearly visible not only inthe prototype—the culmination of physical efforts—but also in the events and activitiesbehind the results. A team has emerged from a group of individuals, and each member hastaken the critical steps necessary to prepare for the world that they will face upongraduation.ConclusionReal world training is a required

Jarosz Johns Hopkins UniversityThe shortage of women in the engineering workforce has been a persistent problem in spite ofsignificant efforts over decades to improve the situation. While the number of women increasedas a result of the various focused efforts, the profession is no longer seeing improvements. Thereis even evidence that the percentage of women in engineering student bodies is backsliding ratherthan improving. This has led many to question

In theconclusion which follows Oberst and Jones make some observations about likely trends inthe future, based on the backsight provided by the Digest items of the past three years.Concluding observationsØ Although the economists of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund have failed in improving the status of people in poor countries through attempts at stimulating economic growth with foreign aid, we must find effective ways of ‘teaching people how to fish’ instead of sending them fish. Engineering education and technology development can provide the base for capacity

Such collaboration provides mutual benefit and serves as an excellent vehicle forclosing the gap between industry and academia [14]. One dominant form of industry-academiacollaboration is industry-sponsored research done at the universities.

A major strength is expertise in fabrication andrepair of aircraft structure. Aeronautical & Astronautical Engineering (AAE) is more concernedwith design. Students in AAE have opportunity for application of design into practice on alimited basis compared to AOT. This has become increasingly evident in the AAE design courses.
