curriculum . The steady improvements and advances in computer technology necessitate that these studies berevisited frequently. Surveys must be modified and repeated on a regular basis to ensure that the needs of theprofession are being properly defined. It is particularly important that educators know the requirements ofprofessional practice so that curriculum changes can be made when appropriate. In the Fall of 1995, two surveys were conducted by the Education Committee of the TechnicalCouncil on Computer Practices (TCCP) of ASCE to assess the computing needs of the civil engineeringprofession. The two surveys were targeted at two different segments within the civil engineering profession:educators and practitioners. The purpose of

The terminology wasfirst used by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) of the Japanese government in the early1970’s. The original notion of mechatronics involved the development of automated production of consumer lproducts such as the Canon SLR auto focus camera .
