engineers are graduating every year from universities in China and India and only 70,000 graduating in the United States. Many U.S. Engineering Graduate Programs contain as high as an 80% International student enrollment in their engineering programs and there is currently a strong effort to encourage U.S. citizens to enroll in PhD programs, as well as an important push to encourage minorities to pursue advanced studies across all engineering disciplines. Local school systems from elementary through high school are rapidly adding science and engineering programs to their curriculum and seeking investments from the Federal Government and private industry partners to fund STEM Education in Math, Sciences and Engineering studies; so we can

as a requirement .In International Technology EducationAssociation (ITEA) report on the status of technology education in the U.S in 2004, it is clear thatthere is an interest to include engineering and technology education as part of the overall learningexperience.Some of the possible reasons why engineering and technology education are not one of the core subjectsare: the limited established academic structures, lack of qualified teachers, clear assessments policies andinstruments and administrative conflicts. In order for engineering and technology education to beaccepted as a core subject among others, it will be necessary to address the mentioned issues. Criticscomplain regarding the lack of valid and reliable assessment methodologies

As a result of this effort, the Corporate Engineering DegreeProgram (CEDP) evolved offering undergraduate distance education degrees in chemical, electrical, andmechanical engineering. The delivery method consists of taping lectures, duplicating the video tapes,and distributing them to the students. Students watch the same lectures, complete the same homework,and take the same exams as the on-campus students. Laboratories are offered in a compressed format(time but not
