technical expertise that has been plagued by a significantlack of identity.1 For example, institutions that have engineering and engineering technologyprograms will often provide a description as to the differences between engineering technologyand engineering. Typically, this description is found by a URL link on the engineeringtechnology webpage and not on the engineering webpage. Even the traditional, distinctive claimby engineering technology programs of being hands-on has eroded with the introduction andrecent emphasis of applications and design implementation across engineering curricula,especially the EAC of ABET required capstone project. Much of this has been documented over 2-12the years.The engineering technology community has

specifically for job search skills,required a full year senior design project of all students, and the career center is too general --more specific information is needed, Graduates were also asked if they had any issues with theengineering technology degree vs. engineering degree. The results indicate that five of thegraduates did have an issue, while 19 did not. Comments to support answers provided indicatedthat ET grads are hired at lower levels than their engineering counterparts, they have to workharder to show their capability, potential employers have preconceived notions that ET degreeswere inferior and were at times thought to be two-year degrees or certificates. One respondentindicated that their resume presents their experience prior to

software. Thedisadvantages are that they consume resources (memory and processing time) and, by design,they isolate the programmer from the hardware2.3.1 Without operating systemsSince the programmer has to manage all the resources these systems tend to be small.Microcontrollers, with their kilobytes of memory usually run without operating systems. Theprogrammer manipulates the IO directly and schedules all the tasks. This makes writing time-critical routines easy, in that the programmer has complete control over the system. Althoughthere is no operating system, the developing organization will usually maintain a library of usefulroutines for common tasks that can be used in projects as needed.2.3.2 With Operating systemsTypically embedded

Ateaching assistant supervised the pre-test at the end of a lecture. Students spent the last 10minutes of class for this test. The pre-test was designed with 10 questions. The first sixquestions were structured as multiple choices to test the understanding of

Base Metal (Steel) Penetration Nozzle (Alloy 600) Figure 8. Reference Standard Used for the Calibration of Phased Array Flaw DetectorThe inspection of dissimilar metal welds involving austenitic (stainless steel) or nickel-basedmetals has long presented big challenges for ultrasonic NDT due to the large, attenuating, andskewing grains. The phased array technology is the only proven ultrasonic technology for thistype of inspection11. The South Texas Project (STP) nuclear power plant developed theinspection procedure with a Harfang X-32 phased array flaw detector and was approved by theNuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) in 200312 about a year after the David-Besse incidence.One of the key components for the development of this

Manufacturing currently makes up 4.2% of Florida’s nonagricultural employmentshare, and projections indicate that these trends will continue [6].Because rural communities may not produce as much as other Florida locales, they are moreeconomically affected

Unfortunately, the frequencies are incorrectsince we do not have methods to find all the materials constants necessary to modelanisotropic materials, i.e. the Poisson’s ratios. In these cases, we use the Chladni patternmethod or use literature values.Figure 9.
