curriculum developer,with several challenges. These challenges include defining the applied cryptographycourse with respect to course goals, scope, content, and organization. While there arewell-established cryptography courses offered in the Computer Science and Mathematicsdisciplines, these classes tend to focus on mathematical foundations rather than servicesand applications. Consequently, the developer of such courses finds that resourcesparticularly those relating to “hands-on” activities are lacking.For a lab module designer, creating modules that support an applied cryptography classpresents several unique challenges. For example, the choice of laboratory softwarepresents a unique challenge. This is especially true since most commercial

surveys of these incoming freshmen finds some startlingrevelations. Comments range from, “I will never have to write again,” to “I’m going to be anengineer and that means NO English!” We realize that with a little thought from thesestudents on the reality of life in the world of engineering will ultimately change thisperspective. But it is an incoming group that sees engineering in a different light from thefaculty and academic staff. It is important, therefore, to make every effort to juxtapositionthe teaching of the necessary technical material with those skills that will make an engineerboth suited for the real world technically and fully capable of communicating his or herengineering expertise to a waiting public.Obviously it is important to

on the impact of continuingengineering education are mixed. Social Research Inc. (1969)4 examined characteristics of engineers laid off bya major corporation. The common denominator was that none had taken part in continuing education duringthe preceding six years. Klus and Jones (1975)4 found a direct statistical relationship between individualengineers’ salaries and their participation in continuing education. Dalton and Thompson (1971) however,found no relationship between performance ratings of engineers and participation in continuing education. Thelimited research on the impact of continuing education contributes to the confusion. ._Current trends in continuing education are encouraging more attention to this area of inquiry
externally). Thecomputer and telecommunication revolution place technocrats in direct and closer contacts with internalworkers, suppliers, competitors, and clients. Moreover, recent statistics show a significant shift of U. S.companies towards a more service-oriented global network and all these changing scenarios demandengineers with multiple roles of technology experts with efficient management skills. However, thetechnology education institutions have not focused on the need of educational training for ourengineering or technology scientists to cope with their emerging role. In a broader theme, this article is an attempt to project some thoughts on how educationalbackground can be re-organized in order to better prepare today’s engineering

Warrantofficers enjoy the privileges of an officer, and according to the Army’s website, “technical warrantofficers are the Army’s mechanical experts”. Qualification training for warrant officers is generallyseveral months to a year in duration of fulltime study, but many warrant officers do not have four-yearcollege degrees.The American Council on Education (ACE), based out of Washington, D.C., reviews military trainingcourses, including Army warrant officer courses, and makes credit recommendations of equivalentcollege credits based upon training durations, content and scope.
