Some commonly agreed subjects of materials have been identified andprepared. Some practically useful web-based tools have been developed. These tools can beimproved, and more web accessible tools can be added. The purpose of the endeavor is tocombine the strength and overcome the weakness in each individual curriculum, and to trainglobally adaptable future engineers more effectively and efficiently.AcknowledgementThe authors thank Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering of University ofMissouri-Columbia for providing TA support for web-based

leading to an engineering degree takesbetween 4 years (minimum required) and 7 years (maximum allowed) to com-plete. The curriculum is divided into two major parts. The first twoyears are devoted to the study of the basic engineering science subjects.Most courses require two to three exams oer semester which determine thepassing or failing of a course. Mastery of these subjects is tested atthe end of the fourth semester in a set of comorehensive exams, calledthe 11 Diplom-Vorprilfung 11 (pre-diploma examination). A special certificateis issued when these exams have been passed. While being approximatelyequivalent to the B.S. degree in this country, the pre-diploma exam doesnot result in a deqree and is not considered a completed education
