Administration requirements, andeven taking attendance at schools. The compact size of the readers (the size of a text book),affordability of the tags (less than $1 each), and usability of the reader software makes this anideal technology for use in the teaching laboratory. Introducing RFID into the ECET curriculumserves two purposes: it teaches modern tools of the industry, and it gives a practical way to teachimportant radio frequency concepts.How RFID worksThere are four main components in an RFIDsystem: the interrogator or reader, the antenna(s)connected to interrogator, a computer interface,and the tag. (See Figure 1) The interrogator,antenna, and interface will all be part of aninstallation or a handheld system, while the tagwill be attached in

The primary goal in initiating the course was to give students more problemsolving experience with a secondary goal of intuition-building hands-on experiences. Over 25activities have been developed with a limited budget.BackgroundSecond year students in Mechanical Engineering Technology take a four-credit lecture course instatics and strengths of materials during their fall semester. Prerequisites for the lecture courseinclude pre-calculus and college physics. The lecture course includes two-dimensional statics,stress and deformation for common loadings, and combined loadings with Mohr‟s

Mathematics) wasdeveloped by the NSF (National Science Foundation), beginning as SMET and settling as STEMin 2001 [2]. The disciplines were grouped because it was recognized that they all emphasizeproblem solving and critical thinking skills [3]. STEM has been recognized in educationalreports since the 1980’s [2]. Though each discipline within STEM stands apart, they are alsointertwined-for example, physics and chemistry play a role in engineering and ET, and math isstudied in all disciplines [4]. STEM does not include the arts in this grouping.STEAM (Science, Engineering, Technology, Arts, and Mathematics) is an acronym developed atthe Arts-National Policy Roundtable in 2007 [5].

However, if a student transfers in at practically the sophomore level, s/he has todouble up on his/her Honors course or Honors contract in two semesters, which can bechallenging and time-consuming.

Additionally, because the findings were used to improve the operationand content of the WMP the design clearly incorporated a formative aspect.After establishing the evaluation design described in the preceding paragraphs, the researchersdeveloped a set of 6 research question(s) that served to structure the data gathering: 1.

This includes doing further research on atopic in order to support an argument being made against another student’s post or exploringother research because a student’s attention was brought to another aspect of the topic byanother student’s initial post. The final phase is the most important and is when a studentintegrates what s/he learned from discussion with other students (Wang & Chen, 2008).

On the other hand, since the1980’s only about 14 institutions have created master’s degrees in ETEC. Some M.S. programshave evolved from Master of Science in Technology (M.S.T.) or Master of Technology (M.T.)versions. One fundamental question posed in the debate is whether ETEC curricula rise to thenecessary scientific rigor of traditional M.S. degrees. This paper asserts that the M.S. in ETECshould stand on equal footing with M.S. programs in any other field and particularly inengineering when viewed from the perspective of (i) the scientific level of graduate ETECcourses; (ii) the roles that ETEC graduates perform in the engineering
