focused on the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning rather thanmoving into rigorous engineering technology education research. The second article has anentirely different focus as it surveys second-year students in a required class using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator10,11 to further delve into potential differences of engineering technologystudents from those in engineering, showing a significant difference in these populations.12 Thesetwo articles represent some of the research done in engineering technology education research,providing an example of work found in this area. While searching current literature, the high-level review provides material for an initial conversation with like-minded researchers.Discipline based education research13

TechnologyMajor (ENET), a concentration within Electrical Engineering Technology (EET) that focuses on electricalenergy and power systems. As part of this degree program, a gateway course will be required for all EETsophomores that is designed to recruit into the ENET major, to serve as an introduction to AC systemsanalysis, and to explain electric energy and power systems in a systems context. This course wasdesigned specifically with the IEEE mandate in mind, and great importance was placed on meeting theprogram characteristics described above. Therefore, the course content was chosen to emphasize theapplication of building renewable and efficient electric power systems. Topics such as renewable energyresources (wind, solar, and fuel cells), cleaner
