Abstract

During the 1998-1999 academic year, a survey was conducted to look at current trends and issues in the profession of graphics education (Clark & Scales, 1999).  The survey solicited information from the membership of the Engineering Design Graphics Division of American Society for Engineering Education related to their view of future areas of growth, problems that exist, and direction the profession of engineering graphics education is headed in the future.  This survey, conducted in the spring of 2004, is a five-year follow-up using the same instrument, but with new categories added to provide for current trends in post-secondary graphics education.  New areas added to the survey asked questions on certifications, distance education, salaries, and research interests.
