conference entitled “Research and Engineering Education in a Global Society.”Participants identified best practices, discussed strategies, and formulated a declaration forachieving goals in engineering education and global research cooperation, with a view tobuilding a global society in the next century.5 Joining in this call for change was the NationalScience Foundation, which encouraged mutual and beneficial cooperation with other countries inits publication NSF Engineering: The Long View.6Universities in general have long supported the view that an international experience is avaluable part of education. However, such an experience is more difficult in a program of studyfor engineers than some other disciplines. Consider, for example, that 43% of

With increased emphasis on manufacturing in recent years, including the establishment offour national institutes for manufacturing innovation, a resurgence of demand for manufacturingengineers with the required knowledge is expected. Because this program will be entirely online,it will increase accessibility and provide an opportunity for career enhancement andadvancement for practicing engineers who may not otherwise have access to a graduate degree inmanufacturing engineering. This paper primarily focuses on online program development including the goals andobjectives to be achieved, selection of a learning management system, faculty training inrequired teaching technology and online teaching techniques, as well as

This slow but steady evolution to greater relianceon lecture about more and more material is a reflection of exploding amounts of knowledge inthe engineering disciplines over the last fifty years. Yet, with ever more knowledge to beimparted, engineering students find themselves with so many details to master that they have ingeneral lost sight of the goal: effective problem solving predicated on integrated studentunderstanding of technical material.In 1991, the National Research Council1 criticized undergraduate engineering curricula for notreflecting the shifting needs of the engineering profession by saying that these curricula are“lacking the essential interdisciplinary character of modern design practice” (p. 4).

Hiringcompanies directly benefit, as these programs provide industry relevant experiences andknowledge that significantly reduce the training development time and costs to provide similarexperiences in-house. This model has worked well for decades but is challenged by rapidtechnical advances, reduced academic funding, and an expanding impetus to maintainaffordability in undergraduate education.This confluence of factors has the potential to impact the ability of universities to keep facilitiesat a state representative of current industry practice, possibly resulting in a transition towardsimulation-based experiences and a reduction in equipment-based experiences
