Engineering multimedia CD-ROMs with Internet support for educating the next generation of engineers for emerging technologies

This work on engineering education and multimedia methods and technology urges the development of anthropocentric systems in which humans and machines work in harmony, creating a better educated workforce, at all levels, by building on existing skills, ingenuity and expertise, using new science and technology-based methods and tools, such as interactive multimedia. Consequently there is a need to develop new creative and stimulative multimedia-based infrastructures, products and means of production that can meet challenges now faced by many companies and even countries. The topics discussed include: student centred learning, open and distance learning using multimedia; interactive multimedia based learning systems; and education and training
