The fact is energyefficient lighting offers one of the best energy reduction opportunities.

Engineering Education, 2006 Library Experience for Applied Engineering Technology StudentsAbstractThe full-time Applied Engineering Technology Program at Goodwin College of DrexelUniversity was launched two years ago. This program clearly distinguishes itself fromtraditional engineering programs. The curriculum places emphasis on the application oftheory rather than on derivations and proofs. The majority of courses are fully integratedwith training and laboratory experience, extensive use of software and industrial casestudies. The information literacy of students plays an important role in the educationprocess. The primary goal of an academic library is to support the curriculum and providea more
