implementation of an Information Engineering Technology (IET)program at Northern New Mexico College (NNMC) that borrows from traditional engineeringprograms to build student foundations and at the same time prepares industry-readyprofessionals. The paper describes the building blocks of the program, focusing on curriculumand student outcomes. The IET curriculum is based on a learning-by-doing approach andincludes intensive hands-on activities. By partnering with the industry, students are exposedsince their freshman year to real industrial tools, hands-on activities and simple engineeringdesign, which helps in engaging and motivating them to persist in the program. Student outcomesare analyzed according to specific knowledge, technique and skills

integrate theirlearning into their lives. There have been long-standing claims in the research literature thatstudents learn faster and retain more information the more they are involved in the learningprocess (Liu & Hsiao23, Royer & Royer24). Therefore, the more students interact, the more theywill learn. From a theoretical perspective, Hamilton25 saw the curriculum as a process thatshould not separate what is learned from how it is learned. This duality is the fundamentalidentity of multimedia.Since this class has continuous assignments for students, each week they must write about thecourse topics each week. Our surveys show that students enjoy the self-paced multimediamodules for Units 1 through 4 and their answers to the class

The answer here is probably yes. Even prior to starting their collaborativeventure, the authors detected a palpable interest among faculty for the general area of roboticsthrough the development of new courses. Very recently, there has been some work in developingthe curriculum for a certificate program in Robotics. The current proposal (SBIR) is morefocused on the development of conversational interface which requires meticulous selection ofcomponents followed by their proper integration into the SAR

The department of Academic and Event Technology Services (AETS) looked atmany turnkey solutions and found that the start-up and maintenance fees were cost prohibitive.This led to the development of an in-house solution that would integrate the existing controlsystem that are in all the classrooms and existing webinar software that many of the facultymembers have be using.

The managing of conflict at the DH/C level is extremelycomplex when considering an environment where faculty are concerned with promotion, lack ofaccountability, and concerns of discipline.21 The knowledge that tenured faculty are consideredby some, employed for life, may create added difficulty in leading and motivating this group. Allthese issues are compounded by increased enrollment with declining budgets. The DH/C playsthree basic roles at a university or college: (a) academic, (b) administrative, and (c) leadership.15The academic responsibilities involve teaching, research, advising, and curriculum development.Administrative responsibilities involve managing faculty and staff, budgets, record keeping, andrepresenting

Since the ET programs at Texas A&M University only offer BSdegrees, many faculty members hire graduate students from other departments within the collegeof engineering to help them conduct research work. An increasing number of faculty membersare experimenting with research by undergraduates.

andeducation of an engineer is now compared to that of an engineering technologist and othertechnologists (e.g., in terms of math/theory in the education, in terms of ability to work hands-on,and in terms of job roles in a interdisciplinary team). Students are now better exposed totechnology-related degree options other than engineering.Second, a technology professor joined the EGR120 teaching team. The course has since beenbroken into four curriculum blocks, taught “round-robin” by four professors: an EE section, anME section, a general engineering profession and projects section, and a hands-on/laboratory(technology-professor) section.
