seems maybe the only effective and feasiblesolution. There is a need for new learning tools and practical experiences which can now be metby new teaching methods, such as virtual learning. In recent years due to the Internet advances,and the fast development of computer technologies, E-Learning has been well accepted in manydifferent education areas and at many universities. Computing and communication technologyhave had a significant impact on engineering education, improving online, distance, andcollaborative learning, as well as the use of the virtual and remote experiments, laboratories andsimulations. On the other hand, the renewable energy technology has a great development rateand it is mandatory also for professionals, engineers, and

Changes in accreditation criteria have resulted in a focus on learning objectives and outcomes and results of evaluations that can be used to improve and develop the programs. Since most programs have now gone through at least one visit, many programs have found concerns and/or weaknesses in Criterion 2: program outcomes and 3: assessment and evaluation. Some of the most common areas of concern are communication and lifelong learning.

Firstly, aerospace engineers are often engaged in the design of large scale complexengineered systems, and design involves an individual’s technical competency integrated into ateam of specialists and generalists. For example, a team of propulsion engineers in an enginecompany may coordinate and communicate with a team of propulsion integration engineers in anairframe company, and those integration engineers are simultaneously coordinating with aircraftperformance engineers and the flight test team. Secondly, because of complexity of the systemsand specialty of the engineer, an engineer’s experience is unique.
