Abstract	Interest in continuing engineering studies has been growing within the American Society for Engineering Education as well as among educational institutions, industrial organizations, professional association, and governmental agencies. Feeling a national need for uniformity, in 1968 the National Planning Conference authorized a National Task Force to define a unit of continuing education that can be applied to all organized learning experience and become a permanent individual record. All the midwestern state universities are geared for large-scale programs of continuing education but the sparseness of population presents a challenge. Videotape programs, combined media courses, Electro-Writer systems, and variations of correspondence study are being worked on. Success requires the cooperation of industrial organizations; Kimberly-Clark has a Bank Account policy which encourages professionals to extend their knowledge. There is need for evaluation; Polaroid has used the measures of pay growth, attendance, and turnover. Project GAP at Northeastern University (program for regional economic enhancement involving continuing engineering studies) has created a list of 56 quantitative criteria for evaluation. (PT)
