| Abstract | Summary form only given. In the 1980s Japanese success in using technology to produce high quality, low cost, and innovative products led to a sudden interest in the education and training of engineers and in the practice of engineering in Japan. Initially, researchers looked at the numbers of engineers trained in Japan compared to that in the US and at the nature of engineering education in Japan. While at first it seemed that Japan's successes could be attributed, at least in part, to the large number of Japanese graduating with engineering bachelor degrees, later research cast doubt on this conclusion. Nor were researchers impressed with the Japanese university system, though some speculated that it might be superior to the US system in teaching engineers teamwork. Attention was directed to the training and management of engineers in Japanese firms. Distinctive personnel practices were identified, such as career-long systematic job rotation. Meanwhile another stream of research began, looking at specific engineering practices (most often in the automobile industry). The emphasis had shifted from seeking general characteristics of the Japanese engineering system that accounted for engineering superiority, to looking for specific practices used by certain Japanese firms. This paper reviews the literature and suggests some new directions for researchers. It argues that while the search for best practices has clearly been beneficial to US and other firms, other areas also warrant more intensive exploration. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
