faster, the method of design changes accordingly.Computer-based technologies have greatly changed the way design engineers work. The firsttechnological element was the use of high-powered personal computers (PCs). With PCs, designengineers have access to Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software right at their own desks.Personal computers and CAD packages replaced drawing boards, pencils, and T-squares. Thesecond change is the emerging use of the Internet or Intranet by engineers that enables them tocollaborate with partners at far-flung locations. The third technology is virtual reality (VR) thatallows users to enter design works and interface in three dimensions (3D).Three-dimensional CAD software has been used extensively due to its power in

increase in the interest in entrepreneurship, somuch so that the term “engineering entrepreneurship” has been associated with this phenomenon.There are some important differences between offerings at the two types of school. Inengineering, most of the course offerings are aimed at undergraduate students, and facultyinterested in, but not formally trained in, entrepreneurship, management, or business are initiatingthe offerings. In both schools, the teaching is strongly supported by part-time educators, such as“executives-in-residence,” outside business executives or experienced entrepreneurs. The offeringsin engineering schools all have a strong technology component or association.The term “high technology entrepreneurship” is not in general use

However, a major concern regarding on-line courses with laboratorycomponents has been and still is the practicality of bringing laboratory experiments on-line. Inthis regard, the complexity associated with interfacing technologies between a remote site and alocal site running an experimental set-up poses a major technological challenge in this area.Perhaps, much of this complexity stems from non- Page 7.1045.1Proceedings of the 2002 American Society for Engineering Education Annual Conference & Exposition Copyright© 2002, American Society for
