- But if these "foreigners" are this skilled, doesn't that mean that U.S.
- students have the same chance for the same skills? Let's examine.
-
- If the foreign engineers are getting degrees at foreign universities, perhaps
- we should blame American higher education and not big business. American
- colleges have all thest all the amenities of colleges worldwide, so the grads.
- they produce should be lacking none of the skills foreign engineers have.
- Thus there may be a problem with American learning institutions which needs
- to be discussed.
-
- On the other hand, if foreign engineers are being trained at U.S. colleges,
- then the glaring question is How are they learning more than their U.S.
- counterparts? They are reading the same texts, sitting in the same classes,
- and listening to the same profs as the "home team". This seems to point to
- a problem with the work ethic and motivation of U.S. students.
-
- I am a U.S. college student. I was born in this country, and currently co-op
- for a U.S Utility. I've seen good students and bad ones from both the U.S. and
- abroad. I'm not trying to condone business practices or defend foreign students
- from U.S. criticism. All I'm trying to do is offer another p.o.v. Perhaps
- before we need to check on our players before trying to say the rules are
- unfair.
-
- Interesting Thread. I'm wating for the flames to start rolling in.
