Computer Applications in Continuing Education.
Abstract
The experience of HEC in integrating computer applications into its continuing education program for hydrologic engineers has indicated that it is possible to provide experienced engineers with a good working knowledge of computer-oriented problem-solving techniques in a continuing education environment. However, it appears that the effectiveness of integrating computer applications into continuing programs--as measured by the ability of the engineers to use the techniques in their normal working environment--is dependent upon three factors: the availability of broadly applicable, well-documented computer programs in the technical subject; the development of workshop problems for use in the training program to illustrate the capability of the programs for solving both routine and unusual problems; and the availability of rapid turn-around computer capability that enables the trainees to obtain 'hands-on' experience in using the programs.
