The Role of Communication in Continuing Engineering Education

The application of communication devices based on technology to undergraduate engineering education is accelerating. A question may be raised to what extent such devices are being used and can be used in continuing engineering education. A federal interagency committee is looking at this question. Herein is a synopsis of data developed through the activity of the committee. This paper is a challenge to educators, employers, officials of engineering and scientific societies, and government, in their combined efforts to improve the availability and quality of continuing engineering education.
