graduates do not experience this uniformity; therefore, theapplication of identity research directly to this population does not accurately reflect theiridentity. This lack of differentiation limits our knowledge of the engineering technologygraduates’ self-identification. Titles that the engineering technology graduate assumes upongraduation divide this population, and confuses our knowledge of career trajectories.This study is an initial probe into the engineering technology graduate’s identity. This early workwill provide insight for future work in this area. In order to obtain information from engineeringtechnology graduates, the study was distributed through the alumni office. It is thought thatgraduates that belong to the alumni association

• 16 Analog pins • 14 Pulse Width Modulation pins • 128 KB of Flash Memory • 5V Operating VoltageUltrasonic Sensor:The four HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Modules [13] mounted to the four sides of the truck offer a collisiondetection system by sending out a short burst of ultrasonic sound. These sounds reflect off fromthe surrounding environment and then return back to the sensor. By measuring the time that it takesfor the echo to return, the distance between the sensor and the nearest object are calculated. Thespecifications are as follows: • Operating Voltage: 5V • Operating Current: 15mA • Effectual Angle: <15° • Ranging Distance: 2cm - 400cm / 1” - 13ft 3 • Measuring

geared motors, integrated motor drive circuits, three-axisaccelerometer/compass, piezo-electric buzzer, status light emitting diodes (LEDs), a userpushbutton, and an infrared reflectance sensor array for high contrast sensing. The mostadvantageous aspect of this chassis was the wide range of microcontroller boards it accepted.While we selected the well-known Arduino UNO Rev3 microcontroller, many others aresuitable, including all Pololu’s A-Star 32U4 family and other similar form factor third-partyofferings. One board and cable were given to each individual student, while one chassis wasshared across teams of two students.The most costly support equipment item was the rolling storage case by Lista. This five-drawer,tool chest style case was

waseither the same or even better compared to traditional and hybrid models. This fact almost lookslike a negative correlation between the students' feedback and their actual performance in theclass. During 2013-15 class offerings, there was more time devoted to the interactive activitiesbetween the faculty-students and students-students. This means that even less time was devotedto the theoretical material normally presented in the traditional lectures and students were"forced" to spend even more time studying. The reflection of this is the best students'performance - 83%/88%/80 average and 10%/8%/13.8% standard deviation in the final examsconducted during 2013-15 period. The grade distribution demonstrates that the number of A andAB students is
