thedevelopment of an innovative delivery system. In 1993, a faculty committee consisting of representatives from various departments was formed by thedean to develop an “innovative curriculum” for the college. In carrying out the task, the committee consideredand used as reference several models from other institutions, including Drexel University’s “E4 EducationalProgram1” and the “Integrated, First Year Curriculum2” at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. The newengineering curriculum developed at the University of Miami had the following objectives: 1. Facilitate the transition of students from high school to college environment, 2. Expose students to engineering in their freshman year, 3. Make the study of mathematics, basic sciences

Graduate studentsmay take courses in manufacturing, and elect manufacturing engineering as individual research topics.IV. Concluding Remarks As mentioned earlier, the manufacturing sector has contributed very much in transformingThailand's economy. It is important not only to maintain the benefits from the manufacturing sector, butalso to seek an opportunity to become more competitive in the global market.

Individual users proceed through thematerial at their own pace, and can often adapt the manner or the order in which topics are learned to suit theirlearning style. Courseware is used more and more often in education, both at the pre-university level and in highereducation. Very little engineering courseware exists, however, which is unusual for a discipline that has otherwiseembraced computing technology.
