Describes the first bachelor of science program in environmental engineering technology, with objectives of providing adequate training in the control of air, water, and land pollution. Includes a four-year curriculum plan. (MLH)

Presents contemporary thinking on the mathematics requirements in the engineering technology curriculum. Includes a discussion of institutional practices in mathematics instruction pointing out similarities in content, quantity, scope, and nature of mathematical offerings. (GS)

Interactive computers are providing more services to greater numbers of users. However, before such systems can be economically applied to public education, the cost of high performance memory must be reduced. By using massive amounts of serial memory in conjunction with a highly sophisticated memory controller, a system was constructed which…

Describes Practice School Stations operated by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, including goals, station operation, description of field stations, and program descriptions. (JN)

Surveys the course requirements in the humanities and social sciences for 100 two and four year technology programs. For some associate programs, only one or two courses are required; in 40 percent of the cases studied, the requirement is for three courses, or nine semester hours credit. (MLH)

Describes the evaluation of engineering technology programs and the problems faced by the engineering technology graduate. Asserts that the "identity crisis" developing in the engineering community between the engineer and the engineering technologist could be averted if positive steps are taken to spell out the differences between the two. (MLH)

Presented is a two-year associate degree curriculum for Engineering Technology. Specializations are provided in civil, electronics, and mechanical technology. The civil engineering technology specialization facilitates three major areas of study, and mechanical technology includes design and production options. Each curriculum was designed to…

This paper describes the content of a seminar-type engineering course dealing with materials reutilization (recycling). The course, consisting of lecture and discussion by various faculty and outside experts as well as student presentations of research papers on recycling topics, is intended to investigate current areas in which recycling of…

Creating activities that model engineering design as it appears in industry provides great experience for technology students. Design in general creates an element with special regard to its form and function. Engineering design involves doing that, and going beyond to produce an efficient product that addresses its intended purpose. In this…

Describes co-operative programs which provide baccalaureate degrees to electrical, mechanical, and civil engineering technology students who have just completed a two-year associate degree program. The co-operative programs are two or three years in length, with alternating quarters of coursework and job assignments. (MLH)

Describes a baccalaureate program in engineering technology at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, which is a "plus two" or upper-division-only curriculum, serving as a receiving unit for the graduates of two-year engineering technology programs. (MLH)

An engineering technology instructor at the College of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, describes how he spent his sabbatical leave in a new coal preparation plant setting up a training program for key employees and at the same time updating himself in his own discipline of mineral technology. (MF)

Reports results of a survey concerning the opportunities for graduates of engineering technology programs to transfer into regular engineering programs. Career opportunities are also considered. (SL)

Described are the university training centers for engineers in France. The profiles of applicants, the distribution of students over different specializations, and the salary progression for engineering graduates are discussed. (KR)

Describes the engineering technology programs of the North Carolina Community College System. The 16 curricula classified as engineering technologies are offered in 34 institutions for a total of more than 100 separate programs. (MLH)
