Competing in this global economy requires a science and engineering workforce that is consistently at the technological forefront. Dr. Charles Vest, President of the National Academy of Engineering, in a speech at the University of Michigan on October 15, 2007, put it simply: prospering in the knowledge age requires people with knowledge. The purpose of the Lifelong Learning Imperative Workshop, summarized in this volume, was to consider learning opportunities for the engineering professional. The participants in the workshop addressed the necessity of lifelong learning, the history of continuing education, possible delivery systems, systems used by other professions, and the current state of learning when viewed in the light of the rapid rate of technological change.EngineeringStudy and teaching (Continuing education)CongressesEngineeringStudy and teaching (Continuing education)620.0023Dutta D(Debasish)1142892National Academy of Engineering.Lifelong learning imperative in engineering workshop: National Academy of Engineering(2009 :Arlington, Va.)MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910971487303321Lifelong learning imperative in engineering4470433UNINA
