rapidly developing technologies and competitive economy require the continuoustraining and education of engineers throughout their careers. Engineers need new skills andcompetencies that will help them understand and meet new work-related requirements1. As moreengineers are employed in smaller companies and the work force in down-sized, individuals musttake on a wider variety of duties. In addition, since the number of students studying engineeringis decreasing2,3, the aging work force must be kept up-to-date in order to maintain high levels ofproductivity throughout their careers. In the U.S., the responsibility for this maintenance oftechnical competence and career growth has largely been the individual’s1. ABET EngineeringCriteria 2000 (EC2000
