kewp, those articles basically showed the Asian culture drive to succeed through higher education. I don’t see how that’s related to engineering, especially us second generation Asian who went into engineering because we want to, not because we have to.
You think Toyota replicate? Last I check, GM, Ford, Chrysler all tried to replicate Toyota’s manufacturing efficiency. Trying to copy their processes. You can’t innovate until you know your fundamental. It great that Ford manufactured the first car. Coming first doesn’t mean you’re the only one who know how to innovate. Tell me which car company first produced hybrid cars? Which company able to develop more efficient cars? Answers to both those questions are Japanese cars. Japanese auto makers took what Ford started and took that to the next level. That, my friend is innovation.
