The university today must be redefined with new concepts. The Internet allows virtual classrooms. Digital libraries provide knowledge repositories. The Web offers up-to-date material for seminar discussions. Computer simulation substitutes for laboratories.

A complete reengineering has to take place in order to retain the spirit of the university as an intellectual watering hole.
