Next week's guest is Dr. Klein Ileleji. Dr. Ileleji earned a B.S. in Agricultural Engineering from the University of Ilorin, Nigeria; an M.P.S. in Applied Economics and Business Management at the Institute of Economic Studies at Nitra, Slovakia; and a Ph.D. in Agricultural Engineering at the Slovak Agricultural University in Nitra, Slovakia. His presentation will be about "Engineering the right solutions for rural communities in Africa." There is no reading assigned for this week, but the following questions may encourage you to do a little research...
Come to class prepared to discuss the following:
Why have massive investments in foreign aid from the West not had the expected impact in Africa?
Why might engineering solutions that work in the West, not work in Africa?
Africa has so much wealth (mineral ores, petroleum, arable land). Why is it not utilized?
What is the danger in generalizing an entire continent, like Africa? Why do you think it happens so often?
