Technology (ETEC), with at least 50 sustainingenrollments of 200+ students in fall 2010 according to ASEE data. 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

For the second activity, ten (10) graduate students from civil engineeringparticipated in a pilot study. They were asked to answer all 27 items of CATS-s v1, rate theclarity of each question, and provide suggestion to improve unclear questions. Nine (9) of thestudents completed their BA at a Hispanic University from Latin America. CATS-s v2 was thencreated after analyzing their responses. Finally, the third activity completed so far consisted oftesting the protocol to identify if bilingual students exhibit the same misconceptions (commonerrors) than those currently identified in CATS.

In 1974, fewer than 30% of all science andengineering (S&E) Ph.D.s were working in industry, and more than 45% were in tenure-trackfaculty positions.

To address this concern, among others, ABET adopted theEngineering Criteria 2000 (EC2000), which introduced a new paradigm in engineeringeducation.1 The new paradigms in engineering education went beyond the need to keep studentson the cutting edge of technology, but required students to have interpersonal skills, beinquisitive and innovative, and most importantly, possess inter

Despite these studies, there is still scarce information available exploringthe epistemological development of graduate-level engineering Chinese students.

Society’s ability to address these global challenges requires the technicalknowledge of scientists and engineers with master’ s or doctoral degrees 1. These globalchallenges will not be addressed solely by Ph.D.s in the academy but also by Ph.D.s in business,government, and non-profit organizations.

The benefit of the scratch card is that if the trainee is unsure of the answer,s/he can scratch out all possible answers until the correct one is revealed. The use of scratchcards in this instance allows us to convey important material to the trainees in a quick andeffective way. Because the answers are provided immediately to the trainees via the scratch card,discussion can be kept brief and to the point.3.
