Session 3222 Distance Learning for Continuing Education – What Engineers Want Eugene Rutz University of CincinnatiAbstractAn educational needs assessment was distributed to practicing engineers to evaluate interest incontinuing education offered through distance learning technologies. Responses to theassessment indicated preferences of practicing engineers for programs related to engineeringmanagement, computer science and engineering, and mechanical / manufacturing engineering.The assessment also indicated that engineers prefer technologies that are computer-mediated.1

should be used by all engineers in their daily work. Using these methods will lead to a sustainable future for all. The need to introduce green engineering concepts to undergraduate students has become recognized to be increasingly important.1 This need is being driven in part through the US Engineering Accreditation Commission Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) criteria 2000. Based on this criteria chemical engineering departments must incorporate “ethics, safety and the environment” into the curricula. An additional criterion that must be satisfied is to prepare students with a broad education to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global context. In addition, there has been a large amount of
, the argument above would affirm the propriety and desirability ofparticipation from any religious perspective. I’ll speak below from an exclusivelyChristian perspective because that’s what I know, encouraging others to contribute theirown distinctive viewpoints."What are the requisite presuppositions for a robust engineering ethic?" We agree that there’s a need for the ethical, thoughtful practice of engineers; thecapacity of technology for harm is manifest. But the question is begged, “Why should wecare?” A simple appeal to intuition should disappoint us; none of us rely on intuitionalone for our other professional judgments. Why would we then content ourselves withintuition alone as the basis for our moral judgments? It seems that the

I suppose an engineer oughtto be ingenious and ingenuous, artful and artless, sophisticated and unsophisticated, bondand free.” Vesilind concludes with a description of the dichotomy that he claims capturesthe essence of engineering today. “The engineer is sophisticated in creating technology, but unsophisticated in understanding how this technology is to be used. As a result, engineers have historically been employed as hired guns, doing the bidding of both political rulers and wealthy corporations.”ivAccording to the Social Summit Programme of Action, “Poverty has variousmanifestations, including lack of income and productive resources sufficient to ensuresustainable livelihoods; hunger and malnutrition; ill health; limited
