Engineering EducationUnfortunately, engineering educators teaching in developing countries often do not havethe resources to participate in such conferences. Travel expenses, conference registrationfees, and on-site expenses are typically beyond their means. This often leads to a steadydecline in their effectiveness as faculty members, as they fall increasingly behind newdevelopments in engineering education.Based on prior experience of the National Technological University, sufficient electroniccommunication technologies exist, at least in capital cities throughout the developingworld, to allow participation in an electronic conference, so that engineering educatorsthere are able to participate readily.

EducationIntr oductionAs simulation based design and ultimately virtual reality become increasingly important inengineering practice, it becomes equally important to integrate simulation technology into theundergraduate engineering curriculum. Simulation technology covers a broad range fromcomputerized systems to computerized solutions of engineering problem formulations usingmathematical physics modeling, numerical methods, and high performance computing; all ofwhich broadly influences all engineering disciplines. Pedagogy of integration of simulationtechnology into the undergraduate engineering curriculum and pedagogy of computer-assistedlearning are related. The latter includes web-based teaching, CDROM, robotics, studio arts,remote experiments, and

During the 2000 – 2010 period, employment in Science and Engineering occupations is expected to increases about three times faster than the rate for all occupations. 3. The long-term trend has been for fewer students to enter engineering programs. 4.

A Moral Foundation: How to begin? Rebeca G. Book, William Pfannenstiel Pittsburg State UniversityIt is evident by the stories in the media that ethics are missing in our society. How can we teachethics to our engineering or technology students? This paper will explore different methods andtools that can be implemented and then assessed in trying to teach ethics to students. One of themain points is that students must be taught at lower levels or at the beginning of their universityexperience. Tools and methods that will be covered are: student handbooks – publicity andexpectations, actions and consequences, ties to professional occupations, use of
