DEVELOPMENT THROUGH DISTANCE LEARNING
Prof. Moustafa A. Chaaban
Egyptian Society of Mechanical Engineers
Faculty of Engineering, Ain Shams University
Cairo, Egypt
ABSTRACT
The aim of this paper is to discuss Engineering Continuing Education and Professîonal Development Through Distance Learning as one of the main changes developed in engineering continuing éducation and professional development programmes.
Distance learning has already been applied in many countries all over the world and proved its existence in most of these countries. Distance learning and similar institutions can be round in developed countries such as United Kingdom, United States. Canada, Russia, Germany, France. and others. They can also bc round in developing countries such as Mexico, Brazil, India, Thailand, China, Pakistan, Costa Rica, Venezuela, Singapore, Egypt and others.
The paper includes the establishment of distance learning, its distribution in the world and types, characteristics and main points identifying it. The paper gives a classification of distance learning programmes in the world according to différent éducation levels and types of courses offered by distance learning institutes in the world. The paper gives a comparison between requirements for admission of students to conventional and distance learning institutes, and types of students attending distance learning institutions.
The paper discusses courses, teaching i-naterials, supporting systems and means of communication in engineering continuing éducation and professional development through distance learning. Examples of engineering continuing éducation and professional development through distance learning are given.

Dear Mr. Fabri:
Thank you for your announcement on the next ICOMES Meeting in Paris. On
forwarding your message to our President-elect, Dr. Yoshimi Ito, he
asked me about the length of the short report on the education for
mechanical engineers. Will you please advise me of the expected length.
>From now on, you must be busy to make the preparation for the
meeting.
In retrospect, it was six years ago when I first met you at the 4th
ICOMES Meeting held in Tokyo. It was really pleasant to prepare the
meeting for the world leaders of mechanical engineering. Now it is your
turn to greet them with pleasure after long association with the
delegates of many countries. Hoping your meeting every success.

Dear ICOMES FRIENDS
Greetings to you and to all the committee members engaged in the participation of the ICOMES coming Maison de la Mechanique meeting.
We have received your letter of invitation and we thank you very much. Please note also that ESME has acquired a new president (Ato Tesfaye Kidane).
Sincerely yours,
Hailu Mengesha
Office Manager ESME

Dear M Fabri
I am the elected chairman of the Mechanical College Board of the Institution of Engineers, Australia. I recently took over the chair from Professor Michael Davis, who attended the ICOMES Forum in Shanghai in 2000.
I am communicating with you simply to advise that I will attend ICOMES this year in Paris, representing the Institution of Engineers, Australia. I look forward to meeting you in October.
Perhaps I should note that I am a practising consulting engineer working in mining and minerals processing in Western Australia. I am not a lecturer or professor, so I know very little about the problems of those who educate engineers. I do know more about the issues facing engineers after they graduate. I hope I will be able to contribute to ICOMES from this point of view.
Professor Davis and I are developing some ideas for this meeting of ICOMES. I will pass our suggestions to you in due course, as you requested on the ICOMES website.
Best regards
Peter Hopwood
