competition.But for each of these concerns, technology and its application promises to offer exciting solutions. It willrequire educators to innovate and adapt to changing times. The use of web sites and presentationapplications represent two recent changes that support the online classroom, or near-paperlessinstruction. We use the term near paperless because most engineering instructors use problem-basedassessment and that is difficult to implement online. Thus, tests require paper for students to demonstratetheir work and to receive partial credit. In summary, institutions that capitalize on this paradigm shift willtake advantage of the above opportunities and improve the quality of their educational programs.WebsitesThe educator may choose to use web

Riding trains and busses with Chinese people is educational in and ofitself for students not accustomed to large populated cities. Students were able to visit markets,restaurants, and simply experience very large modern cities. China is rapidly becoming a modernsuperpower in engineering and construction technology. Engineering excellence does not appearto be lacking within China, although construction execution and quality appear to be lessimportant. Finally, urbanization in China is incredible. Tower cranes abound, not just on thehandful of 100 story buildings being constructed, but the seemingly endless 30 story buildings aswell. Other construction features and challenges

Design software has become so powerful that a novice can conduct sophisticated analyseswithout knowing very much about the details or limitations of the analysis process.While it is important for engineering schools to educate students about the use of computer-aideddesign tools, they must also ensure that the students have a basic understanding of the underlyingprinciples upon which these computer programs are based. Striking a balance between teachingthe fundamentals and giving the students hands-on experience with the technology continues to bea challenge. The real benefit in introducing the
