education. This was disproportionately the case with minority students who made up the majority at underfunded, inner-city high schools.... Thus, to mandate the admission of only qualified and not qualifiable students put the burden of integration on a part of the education system that patently was not doing its job. [...] What would have happened if institutes of technology and universities, given enough support and sanctioning by employers of their engineering graduates, took over the task of remedial education? Schools could conceivably maintain sound material standards for engineering but train students over longer periods, with greater provisions for remedial instruction. Even if such instruction costs more than existing

In the depth camp reside faculty who believe students shouldacquire well-focused expertise in a given discipline, enabling them to confront challenging Page 4.111.3problems within the area.

Fortunately, the monumentalwork done by Ashby and his associates [2] has paved the way for not only making these taskssimpler, but provide unambiguous guidelines for completing these tasks.
