- Abstract
The problem of productivity and its impact on manufacturing engineering is the main focus of a program designed to develop a university-industry relationship that will provide professional training to students and input into the manufacturing industry.

A paper reviewing the proposed engineering internship program is included with supporting charts. The program centers on industry, student, and university characteristics and their interrelationships. The major part of the document (63 pages) consists of two reports on visits abroad (Germany, and Japan and Korea) to study aspects of university--industry interaction. The report on Germany describes the institutions visited, contacts established, and the types of activities observed. It provides an in-depth description of engineering education and research at the university with emphasis on manufacturing. The report on Japan and Korea is presented in three parts: (1) information on engineering education in Japan, (2) individual reports on specific visits in Japan, and (3) information on technical education and research in Korea.

The article presents information on the political foundations of the German education. For comparative education, the concepts should be culturally defined and the comparative method should be established and refined, without adjectival qualifications. Two persistent problems faced by the students of German politics is that of political culture and political organization. Political socialization has become a pivotal problem in the East German attempt to establish a change in political culture below the system change and a change in political behavior above it. Specific definitions, means of instruction and expected outcomes vary greatly, not only between East and West Germany, but also among groups and individuals, inside professional education and out. German educators must first come to terms with the problems of political tradition, and must consciously seek to identify the behavioral orientation for a participant political culture which accords with a simultaneous modernization of institutions for an integrative socio-political system.
