  • Abstract
    While attending a Japanese National University I observed many unique aspects of engineering education in Japan. Most of these unique aspects point toward three interesting themes: Preparation, Fraternity, and Mentorship. The effects of these characteristics are discussed and compared to engineering education in the United States
