New concept and implementation of inter-continental flexible training of terotechnology and life cycle costs

In pursuit of better applications of industrial technology, today Engineers are becoming increasingly aware of the need for continuous education. Universities around the world are keen to cater for this need. A new initiative at Monash University Gippsland campus is currently taking place in this field. The aim of the initiative is to enable the concurrent offering of terotechnology and life cycle costs to practicing engineers in both Australia and USA. This paper discusses the experience gained from the methodology of combining theory and practice via both written and electronic medium. Also, the paper discusses the strategy that was carried out by the development team. In addition, the benefits of video interviews and Web-supported discussion forums are also addressed in this paper.
