At Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, the College ofEngineering has adopted an “Introduction to Engineering Course” that is required of all freshmenmajoring in engineering. The course is described as a “lecture-laboratory course” that “allows Page 13.614.2students to work with hands-on projects that will teach the usefulness of mathematics and basicengineering concepts.” Another goal is to have students “better understand how fundamentalprinciples of science and engineering are useful in the profession.” An additional dimension ofthe work at SIU-C is to have students perform basic math computations with data

This program has been a source ofpride for NMAA as well as a method of outreach to the rest of the country. Due to a lackof trained and educated engineers in the Afghan National Army, the ideal and moretypical source of faculty for NMAA, a cooperative effort with Engineering School atKabul University was established, where their faculty would teach at NMAA as adjunctfaculty. This arrangement provides a much needed second source of income for theKabul University faculty, keeps them working in the educational field, and exposes thefaculty to modern textbooks and teaching methods.

The report indicates "that a widespread emphasison theory over practice...discourages many potential students while leaving graduates with toolittle exposure to real-world problems and ethical dilemmas." While "millions of dollars" havebeen offered "through a coalition of universities to try to break up old styles of teaching," manyschools "still couldn't overcome the 'cultural issue of change' among faculty members." Therehave been some successes, however. Georgia Tech's biomedical engineering program uses a"problem-based approach" that "helps attract and teach many types of engineering students,especially women, who have been traditionally reluctant to consider engineering."Students too are voicing

The Fulbright Commission points this out, sayingof admissions considerations, “The most competitive universities will expect to see three A-Levels or their equivalent. This could include a minimum of three Scottish Highers, A-Levelsalongside the Welsh Baccalaureate, the IB.”2In order for this mechanism to be meaningful, there must be consistency in the teaching of, andawarding of, A-Levels across the schools of the UK. Consistency is supposed to be controlledby the OFfice of STandards in EDucation (OFSTED).3 OFSTED inspects and assesses publicschools. They generally give a school a 24 hour notice before descending on the facility andinvading its classrooms, laboratories, and offices. Such
