used in early education settings, it canbe applied to higher education for complex subjects that are being taught for the first time,particularly in the form of peer-scaffolding.A study on scaffolding in technology-enhanced learning environments, “Bridging Research andTheory with Practice,” explores the possible effects of student learning development “incollaboration with ‘more able peers’.” While it is apparent that peer-assistants are potentiallyvaluable to the cost-effectiveness and quality of education for their classmates and instructors,there is still limited data on the personal and individual effects on such peer assistants. One studytouches on some of the personal gains of a peer learning assistant stating, “The cognitiveprocesses

This time, the tutors met with the instructor of a junior-level course and theirtutoring supervisor for an hour-long training session two weeks prior to the deadline forsubmission of a lab report in the course taught by the instructor. Detailed instructions werepresented to the tutors by the course instructor, indicating their responsibilities in helping thestudents improve. The instructions also indicated where the students needed to acceptresponsibility for both making appropriate changes to their lab reports as well as understandingthe underlying methods that yield better written communication.

Engineering Technology

So Few Textbook ChoicesLet's define Engineering Technology (ET), in contrast to what it isn’t: it's not Engineering orIndustrial Technology or Technician study. ABET’s website compares ET & Engr. thusly: “Engineering programs often focus on theory and conceptual design, while engineeringtechnology programs usually focus on application and implementation. Also, engineering programs typically require additional, higher-level mathematics,including multiple semesters of calculus and calculus-based theoretical science courses.Engineering technology programs typically focus on algebra, trigonometry, applied calculus, andother courses that are more practical than theoretical in nature.” 1Engineering Technology is a young
