Well written article but the conclusion reached wherein the blame is laid squarely on the Universities (American), is in my opinion wrong. When you consider Universities in Germany, and in other European countries where students are excelling and doing better than their American counterparts, you have to realize that this isn't simply "Elitist Accreditation". That paper you earn is proof that you have learned critical thinking, you have learned whatever Engineering or Science you have studied. As these fields become more technical, the knowledge needed increases.
