FEEDS: AN INNOVATIVE APPROACH TO CONTINUING EDUCATION AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

One-third of this nation's professional engineers in state, county, and city transportation agencies will retire during the next decade. To counter this problem, innovative approaches to transportation engineering continuing education and professional development must be developed. The use of tutored videotape instruction technology such as the Florida engineering education delivery systems (FEEDS) is a low-cost and effective approach for a continuing education and professional development program. FEEDS has demonstrated the success of one relatively inexpensive state system that allows access to the combined strength of seven engineering colleges in this area of scarce resource.
