We believe a fundamentalchange of direction for engineering technology is needed, a change based on the needs of its coreconstituents – students/alumni and industry.Our experience suggests that students and alumni of four-year engineering technology programsexpect an engineering career. There are few occupational positions above the rank of technicianthat contain the word “technologist” in the job title. There is, however, strong demand forqualified graduates who can work as engineers to solve technical problems, communicatetechnical information, and work well in a team environment. Qualified four-year engineeringtechnology graduates satisfy this skill set, that

To promote STEM careers, a partnership among university engineering faculty,practicing engineers, and secondary schools is necessary; it is important to demonstrate to youngpotential STEM professionals the relevance of STEM activities. In addition to interacting withpracticing professionals, authentic experiential learning activities for students in secondaryeducation can promote STEM careers.

Social Cognitive CareerTheory (SCCT) was developed in 1994 by Robert W. Lent, Steven D. Brown, and Gail Hackett[7]. It is a theory that explains the three interrelated aspects of career development. The firstaspect is how basic academic and career interests develop. The second aspect is how educationaland career choices are made. The third aspect is how academic and career success is obtained.The theory incorporates interests, abilities, values, and environmental factors. SCCT is based onAlbert
