key class size break points that can be significant when implementing mechatronic experiences.With these findings, we hope to lay a foundation for clear and informative empirical dataconcerning the time and cost required for implementing mechatronic experiences inundergraduate courses. Furthermore, additional research is needed to extend our model toinclude steady-state time and cost. We intend to conduct this future work over subsequentsemesters.References1. Matthew, R.

. Hospital facilities areunder almost constant renovation as medical treatment technologies, patient age demographicsand patient demand for comfort amenities evolve. Infectious control represents one of the morechallenging aspects of selective demolition and remodeling to hospital constructors. Hospitals (aswell as other structures) pre-dating the 1970’s may be home to hazardous materials such asasbestos, PCB’s and lead paints. Demolition contractors are often the first to encounter thesehazards which represent a challenge whether they are to be encapsulated or abated and landfilled.It is hypothesized that a course focusing on selective demolition and remodeling could serve bothspecializations equally well.In addition to a heavy equipment course, a

Nevertheless, under the leadership of Daniel Sempert,Director of PCC’s Workforce Training Department, PCC and Intel Corporation entered into anagreement to create a new associate degree program to produce Intel’s workforce of the future.At this time, Intel Corporation was still operating Fab 4, their original, four-inch wafer fab inOregon. However, Fab 4 was was slated for closure in the early 90’s as Intel moved to largerwafer sizes.

aspects of automating and characterizing the reagent depositionprocess involved communication across disciplines whose vocabularies are comparable to anyforeign language. Moreover, it was imperative that a computerized automated system beusable by personnel not well versed with computers or the underlying electrical and chemicaltechnologies. Thus it was critical to develop meaningful documentation in the form of usermanuals and help screens concurrently with the design, development, and verification ofthe system. A valuable lesson learned during this project was to anticipate what the nextquestion(s) might be in terms of system capabilities, and try to obtain at least a feel for thesolutions during the characterization and verification process

The ETC leadership has the ability to organize a task force from the ET communitycharged to design a set of relevant features and work with the ASEE in implementing a datacollection, tracking and publication process. The availability of national data that is centrallycollected by the ASEE will eventually lead to ranking.

However, it seems clear that employers would have a preference forthe CE grads over CET grads which could create a “class” structure within the program.The most common reason for a preference to hire CE over CET graduates is licensure, notability. Employment is an area where personal bias also plays a role in hiring. This bias is notlimited to CE vs. CET. Some engineering firms will have a preference for graduates from thesame institution that the firm’s principle(s) attended.8.

As pointed out elsewhere[3], in theUnited States, government policy setting organizations like the NSB have been busy attemptingto advance the agenda of increased enrollment in the engineering technologies under theumbrella discipline know as “science and engineering” (S&E). The major thrust of thisundertaking has been through the efforts of the National Science Foundation (NSF) and inparticular the Advanced Technology Education (ATE) program and its ATE Centers[4] at thepost-secondary school level and
