Education” Today the tragedy of the war in Iraq continues to unfold with an increasingnumber of lives lost both by combatants and innocent civilians. The financial costs of theconflict are staggering as are the impact upon the health of the local environment. In fact,we have no way of judging what will be the cost to the health of the planet as a whole.Recent articles in engineering trade journals extolling the wondrous technical gadgets atour disposal have troubled me deeply, and in fact, have motivated me to question myroles both as a researcher and as an engineering educator. My concerns and doubts wereexacerbated by the tone of a recent engineering ethics conference. I felt certain that aforum in which engineering ethics was the focus
setof 1 sh to 2 sh courses available to all engineers (and other students), with topics that address theaforementioned issues, meeting the needs of the typical engineering student that enters auniversity program, and meeting the needs likely to be forthcoming upon graduation. Since theseclasses are not currently available, and may be perceived as “radical” by the arts and sciencesfaculty, who have been comfortable for years teaching classes very different (and perhaps evenself-serving to their research or political interests), ASEE or a similar organization may need toserve as a central collection point of individuals willing to develop such specialized courses thataddress these deficits in the current general education course offerings.

Synchronous Distance Education in a Mechanical Engineering Technology CourseDecember 9, 2006Abstract: Instruction using the internet is not new and is being used more and more frequently. Some types of classes lend themselves very well to this mode of delivery; technical courses are more of a challenge. The need to use graphics and equations in the instruction and assessment increase the challenges of this type of instruction. Methods of delivery must be modified from face-to-face delivery, along with the methods of assessment. There are many facets to the education of an engineer or engineering technician. Some of the objectives of the engineer’s and engineering
