descending order of the highestincidence of EEF content standards found, the regions were ranked as follows: 1) New England,2) Mid-Atlantic, 3) Great Lakes, 4) Southwest, 5) Southeast, 6) Pacific, 7) Midwest, and 8)Mountain. Also shown in Figure 1 is the breadth of the EEF content standards in each region. Thebreadth of engineering content is defined as the total number of engineering content standardsidentified in each state in the region divided by the number of states in that region. Thiscomputation constructs a state average for each region that was used for regional comparison.For this analysis, the regions are ranked as follows: 1) New England, 2) Mid-Atlantic, 3) GreatLakes, 4) Southwest, 5) Southeast, 6) Pacific, 7) Midwest and 8

The first section of this paper describes the meaning and rationale behindeach of the Bologna objectives, and why there is a need to establish a European areaof higher education. It also comments on how these objectives are interpreted withineducational institutions. The second section provides a mid-term report on theimplementation status within European universities, focussed primarily onengineering and technology education. The third section of this paper describes theissues associated with successfully implementing Bologna in engineering andtechnology education. These include critical issues such as degree structure, howeducational institutions are addressing the two-cycle requirement, the employabilityof

a distress signal, which suggests the storm provided aquick sinking. Four ships were originally sent out to search for the Fitzgerald. One ended upturning back in the middle of the voyage and another took almost 24 hours to get to the scene.There are many theories on the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald. The two most prominent areissues related to the severity of the storm and issues surrounding the maintenance of the boat.8The way that the boat was found split in two, with the sections separated by more than 170 feet,suggests that the boat took on a lot of water quickly and unevenly.9 The Edmund Fitzgerald’sfreeboard had been decreased due to an authorized change to her Plimsoll mark, thus it would beeasier to take on water in high seas
