I have recently attented the NI academic Week held in Movenpick Hotel in Beirut. I have to admit that it was quite interested because we saw how other Academics in the area Use NI products and LABVIEW...

In this area of the world is much better to

Use existing technology that other Counties Develop (USA, JAPAN, GERMANY etc) and by using this technology develop applications that are usefull and have some application
We should focus on creating Engineers that Solve real life problems and not theorists

Appparently Cyprus and Greece and other counties in the region base education by studying tons and tons of books creating scientists and not real engineers that can solve everyday engineering problems.
At this event we have also learned that in Japan education is based on Projects and tasks and also team work.. By working with real projects the students undestand what is meaning of enginnering and not just read it in a book.
