Engineering schools were ex-panded at home, and in addition, students were sent to study in Russianuniversities. At the same time, the government developed its philosophyof education. Mao s support during the liberation depended on the peasants and 1workers and while Mao recognized the need for an educated populace, hewanted to place restrictions on the development of an intellectual class.The result was that the state or rulers took the right and responsibilityto improve society by using education to improve the moral conduct of thepeople.

During the program, the teachers are taught introductory weather science,the IDV visualization software basics, and how to obtain free weather data from the National Oceanicand Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Restrictions due to the COVID19 pandemic requiredmodifications to our planned initial year activities, but we were able to pilot and obtain feedback toimprove the program.

The answersto these questions are invariably that engineering technology programs are based on the practicalapplication of engineering with graduates working to support licensed engineers/architects. Inaddition, engineering programs are theory and design based with graduates focused on designingand managing projects [1].

In this case, the courses were Digital CommunicationSystems and Wireless Communications.During the first week of the first 7-week course, all of the in-class demonstrations and hands-onexperiences needed to be shifted to online/remote delivery.
