... the pace with technology and modernisation. For example, the fact that in the Civil Engineering department at UCL, technical drawings are still made by hands or calculations with a basic scientific calculator, it is a sign of the discouragement of a will to keep up with modern instruments. If we consider the fact that a graduate student in engineering might not know how to operate ... AutoCAD or a graphing calculator, it is not that hard to imagine in how much trouble he/she is going to be once "ready" to get into a professional environment. Another reason of inefficiency might be ... ...
