Professional Engineering Educators (CPEE) chose technologies for deliveringemployee education in high-technology industries, most particularly how or if they integratehuman considerations in that decision. Awareness of these issues is critical to a successfulinstructional design and a supportive learning environment. Understanding humanconsiderations heightens understanding of learner attitude À how, for example, a specificmedium affects oneÀs ability to learn and the degree of acceptance or resistance one invests inthe process. Sadly, the importance of such human elements is often minimized or ignored. Thequality of decisions improves dramatically when human elements are considered, andconsequently enhances the learning process.I. IntroductionFor

The students wereasked to rank each factor for its importance in the selection of their academic major by using ascale of 1 to 5 where 1 = the factor was not at all important while 5 = the factor was extremelyimportant to them. Two hundred and ninety-two usable responses were obtained from thesurvey. Out of those who responded, one hundred and eighty-four students were Businessmajors, while one hundred and eight students were Engineering Technology majors.

Although the course itself would not be a requiredcore course, it would be on a list of electives offered by my department, the Division ofTechnology, Culture, and Communication (TCC). Besides a required first-year TCC course, andtwo required fourth-year TCC courses, students in the SEAS at UVA must take one electivecourse in TCC, usually in the second semester of their second year.
