from 2002-2005. A second award for the period of 2005-2008 was just received. This award hasenabled us to support many educational activates from vanguard classroom instruction, tolaboratory enhancements, to research activities at the graduate and undergraduate levels.Both traditional radiochemistry and advanced topics in nuclear instrumentation have beensupported.IntroductionIn the last two decades there has been an increased realization that training of scientistsand engineers in radiochemistry and nuclear chemistry is of vital significance to the goalsof national laboratories, industry, and hospitals and medical institutions. More recently,the aims of the Department of Homeland Security have also included radiological (dirtybomb) scenarios

Opportunities tointeract with industry representatives at career sessions occur in conjunction with the MinorityCareer Fair and the College of Engineering Career Fair. Due to our location and relationship withutilities, major vendors and national laboratories, representatives also visit the departmentdirectly to recruit for summer internships and full-time positions. Service activities assist with retention as well. For example, student ambassadors assistthe Director of Outreach Programs with school visits, departmental tours, science fairs,Engineers’ Week programming and university/engineering open houses.

Engineering Technology must complete an Integrated TechnologyAssessment (ITA) requirement. [5] The ITA is driven by the program’s publishedlearning objectives. Students are required to demonstrate their accomplishment of eachobjective with individualized learning statements drawn from their own academic,professional, or life experiences. The resulting portfolios must also contain evidencesupporting these statements; examples of such evidence may include copies ofexaminations or laboratory reports, design drawings, citations from supervisors or peers,honors or awards, or similar documentation. It may also include videos of presentationgiven in class or on the job, and letters from professors or employers attesting to skills inthe particular areas of
