Electric Circuits 540-125 is the first course of a three-course sequence taken in the first year of the two-year program in Electrical-Electronic Engineering Technology at Cuyahoga Community College (Ohio). The conventional lecture method of instruction includes textbook and other reading assignments, lectures based on the readings and homework…

This report and its appendices are the results of a study of recruitment and retention "problems" in the various engineering technology programs offered by the community colleges of the State University of New York (SUNY). The focus of the report and all but one of the appendices is upon the recruitment problem. There are five sections…

The study was designed to investigate the effects of Numerical Control Technology and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (NC/CAM) in American industry on industrial education and engineering technology education. The specific purpose was to identify a data base and rationale for curriculum development in NC/CAM through a comparison of views by…

Long-term planning for professional training of electric-power specialists in Russia will have to (1) recognize the need for specialists to adapt to unforeseen developments in the field, (2) include new mathematics, physics, and computer technology, and (3) be prepared for changes in methods of production and transformation of energy. (AV)

Points out the growing role of computer technology in the Soviet economy and discusses the need for future electronics specialists to design and produce circuits using integral microelectronics. Specialists also will need to adjust quickly to changes in science and technology. (Author/AV)

Presents profiles of engineering technology students, engineering students, and university students in general. Data include English usage, math ability, science ability, class rank, years of high school math, and other information. (SL)

There is little agreement between industry and educators concerning the roles to be played by engineering or engineering technology programs and by their respective graduates. This study found that industry accepts Bachelor of engineering technology programs as alternatives to technical careers and to the title "engineer" while educators do not.…

This article is the report of the ad hoc American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) committee for the review of engineering and engineering technology studies. In the report, the committee examines engineering education and makes recommendations on several topics including accreditation, teaching methods, faculty development, continuing…

Examines continuing education with respect to its importance, relationship to degree programs, financing, teaching opportunities, and compensation possibilities. The surveyed institutions recognize continuing education as an important and significant faculty activity and also suggest the need to further explore the financial and compensatory…

Attempts to identify the positions available to Bachelor of Engineering Technology (B.E.T.) graduates. A survey of B.E.T. graduates showed that they are being employed in responsible positions by industry and that most are receiving job assignments comparable to those given engineering graduates. Surveys by other institutions are suggested. (MA)

Summarizes curriculum guidelines for the following engineering technologies: chemical, industrial, mining, petroleum, nuclear, civil, mechanical, electrical, automotive, and manufacturing. In a few years, these Engineering Council for Professional Development committee guidelines are intended to become the criteria by which programs will be judged…

Discusses the admissions selection practices, educational programs, quality standards, and employment characteristics of engineering and engineering technology in the United States. The importance of these two occupations as part of technical teams (which include scientists and technicians) is documented and stressed. (JN)
