Technology (CGT). The CGT program atPUC was created in 2000 and has grown from 18 students to approximately 200 in 2005. Whilemanaging such growth has presented challenging issues for CGT faculty, the faculty have alwaysperformed program development with an eye towards future Technology AccreditationCommission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering Technology (TAC/ABET) accreditationin mind. Hence, in creating the associates and bachelor’s degrees, and the various programoptions, the faculty at PUC have planned for future accreditation and job success of the graduatesby including technical courses along with many courses in the degrees which emphasize the “softskills” of engineering technology, such as communication, teamwork, and appreciation

Putinto the context of a modern classroom, text and graphic combinations are likely to comein a number of different forms. With the explosion of use of multimedia tools has comean increased interest in learning sciences research into the cognitive basis of multi-representational learning.

Not surprising, students’ motivation increasesin these settings and their confidence in problem definition, option development andsolution grows. As with active learning approaches, the instructor role changes in clinicand project courses from one of talking head to facilitator, guide and resource [2,6]. Thestructure of an engineering clinic based ECE program is one that requires students tooperate at higher orders of abstraction earlier in their education while still requiring aconcrete “hands-on, minds-on” engineering solution to the real world problem at hand.These transformative changes are discussed as desirable in most of

While expanding the national community of engineering education researchersis important, scholars who are new to the field need a community of like-minded colleagues withwhom they can give and receive feedback on works-in-progress. We also found that engineeringfaculty tend to have difficulty with particular aspects of educational research, such as navigatinga new disciplinary language, utilizing qualitative research methodologies, and analyzingqualitative data.
