engineering technology at a time whenincreasing governmental regulations dictate that businesses must adopt environmentallyresponsible practices. Employers require engineering and technology professionals who areknowledgeable in the applications of environmentally safe design and manufacturing processes.Authors such as McCright and Bergmiller(1), Wells(2), believe there is a need for manufacturingengineers trained in product quality, environmental protection and conservation. Wells (3)shares the opinion that environmentally safe manufacturing is cost effective in the long run. Wehave designed the following six courses to prepare students to work in industries including, butnot limited to semiconductor, aerospace, automotive air-bag, environmental
by Oregon Institute of Technology and TheBoeing Company that included objectives of the program, degree requirements, curriculum,evaluation, Boeing student issues, pace of the students through the program, size of the program,costs, drop policy, Boeing-supplied support, OIT-supplied support, and management of theprogram. An important consideration was protecting the students in the program, so they wereassured of getting their degree, and still protecting both Boeing’s and OIT’s financial interests.Boeing is a very enlightened company when it comes to their employees’ education. However,the aerospace industry is very cyclic. On OIT’s side, administering the program involvescommitting a full time faculty member to Seattle for an indefinite
