online engineering degree? is it possible

online college degree, online university degree or engineering degrees online is some of raising interest of students as it allow them superb flexibility to manage with a major degree or full/part time jobs. As example a student who follow chemical engineering major may prefer to take online engineering degree at a different location.

With advancement of web based knowledge systems such as webinars and educational content management systems based on softwares like moodle offers much flexibility to online college degree initiatives and universities can start up a online university degree with less time and less cost.

While I was student at university of moratuwa, I followed a part time Bachelor of Information Technology at University of Colombo, School of Computing and they offered online cousre material using a system based on open source Moodle. I study most of modules using their content management system and participate of online exams also.

I think it is possible to conduct online degree programs but when it is about engineering; what is about praticals. As engineering is one of most practical based education stream we need a different approch in online engineering degrees. While providing lectures online using webinar and content management systems, we have to find out a way to provide practical knowledge to students.

This is open for discussions and put your comments ....

American Nuclear information document was leaked into web

A document with more than two hundred pages on information about civil nuclear program of American government was leaked to internet by mistake. This document is contain most of already published information and secret data on active nuclear fuel stockpiles.

Officials says there is no military nuclear data on that document. But anyhow government of United States of America must be more responsible than this due to potential and available security threats on the country.

The Industry Standard in Optical Engineering - ASAP ®

Cranes Software International Limited is pleased to bring to you ASAP® (Advanced Systems Analysis Program) from Breault Research Organization (BRO), in the Indian sub-continent. We are the exclusive distributors of this product in this region.

The Advanced Systems Analysis Program (ASAP®) is the industry standard in optical engineering software, and has been for over 20 years. The popularity of ASAP is due to the software's comprehensiveness and accuracy. ASAP has the functionality to solve the toughest problems for any industry using optics as an enabling technology.

Capability


The product of more than 20 years of continuous development, ASAP is able to simulate the physics of more optical systems than any other program available. ASAP unites geometrical and physical optics with full 3D models of optical and mechanical systems. Built-in graphical tools allow visualization of model geometry, ray-trace details, and results analysis. ASAP handles it all, including scattering, diffraction, reflection, refraction, absorption, polarization, and Gaussian beam propagation.

Flexibility


ASAP is now interoperable with many CAD programs. ASAP can be configured to open native CAA V5 CATIA® files from the program by Dassault Systemes, to write ASAP-specific GTX files from within SolidWorks®, the program by SolidWorks Corp., to write ASAP-specific IGES files from within Rhinoceros®, the program by McNeel & Associates, and to import IGES files from other CAD programs — numerous options for accurate, seamless geometry transitions into ASAP.

ASAP is also able to import (and export) complex vector field distributions from the finite-difference, time-domain code FDTD Solutions™, by Lumerical. Together, ASAP and FDTD Solutions are able to handle both macroscopic optical systems and microstructures in an elegant manner. No other software combination spans such a large optical space.

Speed


The speed-optimized ASAP non-sequential ray-tracing engine is the fastest available, and without the accuracy-compromising surface approximations of other programs. Model almost any conceivable geometry in a single working model, and analyze the behavior of your system in hours instead of weeks.

Accuracy


Optical system designers in 35 countries rely on ASAP for virtual prototyping with great accuracy and confidence. ASAP will model the finest details, which means you can depend on your simulation results to mirror real-world performance.
