Abstract :
In May, 1994, more than 100 participants from industry, government, and universities met in Denver, Colorado to discuss and debate the challenge of maintaining engineering vitality during times marked by rapid technology changes, corporate downsizing, defense spending cuts, and globalization. Recommendations from this workshop, named Industry 2000, have spawned a series of workshops and educational products. The paper reports on those workshops and products. A new tool, the Career Asset Manager (CAM), to support the continuing education of engineering professionals is described. Also, recommendations from two workshops held during the first half of 1996 are presented
