As educators in this field continuous attempts are made tolook at these issues systematically and assess the required modifications for our ethicseducation to produce engineers that are globally successful.Endeavors by the authors to “internationalize” instruction in engineering ethics includethe solicitation of input from engineering and technology students at Lake Superior StateUniversity with regard to changes in the ethics component of the engineering curriculum.This past year third-year students were given a survey soliciting their views on whatethical values are “universal” and what values

IntroductionThe use of the Internet for classroom and distance education has received increasing attentionover the past few years 1,2. Of particular interest for engineering and technology education is theuse of the Internet for the delivery of virtual laboratories 3-9. Virtual laboratories have numerousmerits that they share with classical laboratories and can achieve similar objectives, such asestablishing links between theory and practice and helping students visualize concepts, but at areduced cost. The objective here is to suggest that the cost of integrating virtual laboratories canbe further reduced by using the global nature of the Internet; not using it

However, the profession has made only limitedefforts at recruiting students into technology education teacher preparation programs.”(p. 58) This lack of effort and collaboration could be due to confusion as to who’sresponsibility it is to recruit these teachers. According to Starkweather, (1999) It is difficult to get everyone in our field to understand that the critical shortage of teachers is a problem for all of us. Classroom teachers often think that the problem is for universities and many university personnel are not willing to put forth the effort required to recruit a sufficient number of prospective teachers. There are many other perspectives on the issue. The bottom line is that recruitment
