staff.BackgroundAccording to the United States Census Bureau in 2010 there were ~56.7 million people withsome form of disability, or ~19% of the American population.1 However the term ‘disabled’ canbe difficult to understand, as the severity of the disability is not always clear. It could mean thatsomeone had a partial hearing impairment or that someone had a severe motor pathology likecerebral palsy. The 2010 report Americans With Disabilities1 gave insight into the rates ofemployment for those with disabilities and those without. From this it becomes clear how hard itis for those to with disabilities to find employment and support themselves. However supportstructures and employment opportunities do exist For example the AbilityOne program employs45,000 people

timethey first met as a group, the division of tasks was very clear. Although James, the highschool junior, took it upon himself to lead the group and coordinate the tasks and assignmembers to each task, the other members did not necessarily follow his lead. Once thetasks were divided, and subsequently the team into sub teams or individual work, thepower dynamics changed. Every sub team and individuals were observed working on atask independently, and without asking for any assistance. The members working on eachtask seemed to possess enough knowledge to complete the tasks on their own, without anyguidance or direction from others.

experiences with the transition of our engineering technology programsto engineering programs, because we found very little guidance from the literature for either ac-crediting new programs [1-2] or transitioning from engineering technology to engineering [3].Therefore, we relied on anecdotal information through personal connections with acquaintances atprograms that either transitioned engineering technology programs to engineering programs oradded engineering programs to engineering technology programs and our own efforts. This paperbriefly explains the engineering technology programs’ history leading up to the transition to engi-neering programs. It then explains why we believed that transitioning to engineering programswas the right decision for
