A virtualfacility can have two purposes: a) to facilitate the feasibility study of an engineering systemwhile in the planning stage, and based on the study, designers can adjust the parameters duringtheir final planning so the anticipated system can serve its purpose and b) to study the behaviorand control of a complex engineering system for educational and research purposes withoutbuilding the system.

Page 3.416.1 1 PROGRAM STRUCTUREThe Industrial Engineering Technology department at SPSU began offering the MSQA in 1991.The program was initially developed to address the response from the professional communityfor a degree that addressed the needs of the practicing quality professional. As such, thecurriculum was developed and the program was structured so that the practicing professionalcould take one course a quarter and finish within three years. The response of the communitywas positive and the program rapidly grew to approximately 100 students.When it was proposed to offer the degree via distance learning on the Internet, the decision wasmade to maintain
Criteria for Baccalaureate Level Programs”, Criterion 3, as follows [2]: • Outcome 2: “an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.” • Outcome 4: “an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.”Various experiential learning strategies in general and service learning in particular are some oftools in educators’ disposal to teach these skills [3].

Another example of advocacy isthe Women in Engineering program at Purdue University that holds summer camps to encourage middleschool girls into the sciences and technologies. These camps offer classes in web design and even robotcreation. The girls are encouraged to make career decisions at that age so they can plan a curriculum inhigh school that would prepare them for college courses in engineering or technology. These are just twoexamples of the minor but growing campaign to encourage girls into technology and engineering careers.Even marketers are recognizing the need to encourage girls into technology. Although their ultimate goalmay be financial, they have recognized that girls have
