these, some colleges run classes on weekends or in the evenings. Thisonly partially satisfies the need for some people, as there are still some who have difficultygetting to a college campus. Many universities have responded by developing distance education,a means of delivering academically rigorous courses to students in their own homes. A goodexample of this is The Open University in the United Kingdom, which was established in the late1960’s. Since then, distance education has gone through significant development. This includesdelivering distance eduction in science and engineering.1,2Australia is a large continent with a population of around 20 million people.

“Body of Knowledge”for computer engineering graduates. This list is rather lengthy, and inevitably in a hybridprogram some topics from both electrical and computer engineering will not be addressed.Nevertheless, having such a list is helpful in designing the ECE curriculum. Also quite helpful isanother, more general statement from the same reference on the desired characteristics of allComputer Engineering graduates: 1. System Level Perspective Graduates must appreciate the concept of a computer system and the processes involved in constructing or analyzing it. They must have an understanding of its operation that goes to a greater depth than a mere external appreciation of what the system does or the way(s) in which it

about 10 kN was used for this test. A minimumof three tests are carried out for each test. The speed of the penetrator is 0.2 mm/s, but the speedis reduced to lower the limit in order to more accurately determine the end point. The preferredmethod for determining is by the drop-in load on the specimen. In general this indicates the onsetof necking in the dome. Since the size of the test specimen in the present case is very small,sufficient care is taken to determine the end point.

economists frequently treat all GLDs as OI, but there are situations in whichthe GLD becomes a capital gain or loss (CGL). If a firm is a corporation, then the error intro-duced by treating a GLD as OI will be seen to be either non-existent or minimal, but this mightnot be the case for engineering firms operating as sole proprietorships, Sub-chapter S corpora-tions, limited liability corporations, or partnerships. These organizations are called pass-throughentities since their revenues and expenses and gains and losses are passed through to the ownersor partners who pay taxes on them as individuals. Computing the tax effect of GLDs requires determining the type of asset disposed, theholding period of the asset, the character of the GLD, and
