video-chat creates a demand for greater ability to managemultiple communication tools simultaneously while maintaining workflow. In addition,technologies have expanded the working environment and knowledge base for workers, makingit crucial for them to take charge of their own learning in order to keep current with increasinglycomplex technical skills. In short, engineers must be able to reflect on and appreciate their priorexperiences and competencies in order to leverage them in new situations, and they must beproactive in their pursuit of new knowledge to support that mobility.There are many interesting challenges that lay ahead for educators involved in preparing studentsfor professional practice today.
