equipment continues to escalate whilethe funding for the programs remains stagnant or is declining. This leads to a mounting budgetshortfall. The outcome is a widening gap between what is required to effectively offer a leadingedge engineering program and the resources currently available for instructional purposes. Thisdilemma directly affects the capability of engineering schools to train and graduate engineerswith the abilities to work on state-of-the-art projects in a highly dynamic and increasinglycompetitive technical environment.While new technological developments have in many ways created this dilemma, they may alsooffer the solution to deal with the increasing budget gap in an effective and timely manner.
