Abstract :
A warning that at least 1,000 new engineering teachers will be needed each year until the rising tide of students reaches its climax was offered recently by C. L. Eckel, dean of the College of Engineering at the University of Colorado. The engineering educator delivered the keynote address during the Rocky Mountain Section meeting of the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE), held at the Colorado School of Mines, Golden. Dean Eckel is vicepresident for the western division of ASEE.
