The results indicate that five of thegraduates did have an issue, while 19 did not. Comments to support answers provided indicatedthat ET grads are hired at lower levels than their engineering counterparts, they have to workharder to show their capability, potential employers have preconceived notions that ET degreeswere inferior and were at times thought to be two-year degrees or certificates.

Several of these havebeen mentioned previously. One additional positive change is the merging of outcomes (a) and(e) since this shift more closely integrates knowing and acting. Another positive shift is theinclusion of language on codes and standards in the preamble. This has the opportunity toengage students into a larger community and consider how personal relations can be extended tothose we do not directly interact with.

These learners are morecomfortable with abstractions and mathematical formulations. Intuitive learners can use the casestudies to investigate “what if” scenarios in their projects. The sequential preference by thestudents would suggest use of cases that present facts where students can use well-establishedmethods such as laboratory procedures to solve a problem that could enhance learning. This isconsistent with the model we chose to use for the cases combined with the laboratory exercises. The majority of the students represented visual learners (95%).
