Gentlemen, while I realize that you all are wayy more experienced and educated than I am currently (BE-EE 3rd year), I would like to add my own viewpoint to this very interesting discussion.
We have EXCELLENT people. US educated, patriotic, dedicated (can't stress this enough). And I'm not just making a grand statement, I have been taught by them. They are so good that people almost always forget to take notes in their lectures. AND, most importantly, they are working to solve Pakistani problems with Pakistani solutions. And, they have the vision to mentor the young generation.
This photograph is from the recent inauguration of the National Science and Technology Park at NUST, Islamabad.
NUST and a private Pakistani company signed an MoU which transferred the intellectual property rights of an indigenously designed 'Transformer Health Monitoring System' to the private industry - for the first time in Pakistan. The professor who led this project is in the picture. And I have the honor of being taught by him. And would you believe that this project was done entirely by 4 batches of undergrad students who were mentored by him.
So, all is not lost. We need the right people, the right environment and the right motivation. With these ingredients present, I'm 100% certain that we undergrads alone would be able to solve most of our common problems in the 4 years of our BE degree programs.
