Rapid growth of information and communications technologies has removed time and space limitations in education and achieved lifelong learning. Today with growth of industries and physical distance between industries and universities it is felt that more attention should be paid to this type of learning method in scientific and engineering education. This paper represents a history of distance education as a basis for electronic education. Definitions, advantages, disadvantages of electronic learning have been mentioned and its points to engineering education and its challenges and infrastructures of this type of education such as virtual arbitraries and libraries are described. Finally, some of the universities that provide electronic learning in scientific and engineering education in Iran are presented in a table, and recommendations to enhance of engineering electronic education in Iran are noted.
