Meeting educational needs through electronic delivery systems

As more engineers become self-employed or employed in small organizations, electronic media will deliver an increasingly flexible system of continuing education for updating engineers. Future engineers will have access to online educational services. This will bring an integration of video, audio, and voice to the home and place of business via a vast "electronic super-highway" and provide updates on technology and information relevant to career development. The challenge is for industry, universities, government, and professional societies to cooperate in developing a relevant curriculum for lifelong learning.
