Universities are evaluated every ten years by accrediting institutions, such as the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (for Harvard and other area institutions), are recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. Beyond that, universities develop their own reputations with employers based on qualities that are perhaps the most practicable of gauges: the real-world competence of graduates. That said, the onus should be on employers to understand what each candidate will bring to a position based on their degree and school and, where they...
...methane emission by cows, proved too expensive for widespread use in India. So the emphasis for Indian scientists is on indigenous solutions. "We know we cannot count on high-quality feed and fodder," says Singhal. "No one will be able to afford it. What we have done instead is develop cheaper technologies and products." One example is urea-molasses-mineral blocks that are cheap, reduce methane emission by 20%, and also provide more nutrition, so they're easier to sell to illiterate farmers who don't know a thing about global warming but want higher milk yields...
...areas, SEAS is absolutely perfect for Harvard to have a major impact.” Echoing Venky’s vision, Murray says she believes that we can only solve these problems through interdisciplinary learning and by educating leaders who can understand science. She says she will continue to develop the Technology, Science and Society concentration and the Bioengineering concentration for undergraduates as well as work to establish connections with Harvard’s other schools. “We have all these horizontal interactions between SEAS and systems biology and the Medical School, and I think she?...
...History and Literature and Social Studies students who go abroad during the spring semester, for instance, are required to write their junior papers while also doing study-abroad coursework in other countries. Students planning to study abroad must take the initiative to track down all of their academic advisors, develop a course of study that precludes courses that do not count for Harvard credit, and constantly check the Office of International Programs website for updated deadlines, as dates are not well advertised. If the process were streamlined and encouraged as an enriching part of the academic experience itself, more students...
...need it. As part of Japan's economic recovery program, Aso has told Yosano to prepare a stimulus package of a 10 trillion yen ($100 billion), at least 2% of GDP, to help create jobs, secure credit for firms and develop energy-efficient technologies. The supplementary budget to fund the stimulus is expected to go to the Diet by end of the month. (See pictures of Japan and the world...
