courses in most engineering programs.Similarly, but not as specifically, technical electives allow students to tailor their technicaleducation to specialize in a subdiscipline of their broader major. An advantage of specializing ina subdiscipline is the opportunity for the students to build a depth of knowledge in an area thatstudents taking a more general approach to an engineering discipline may not gain. Additionally,students can take courses that might not be directly related, but that would provide them with aset of skills that they feel will give them an edge in their planned career. This approach mightnot lead to a recognized concentration, but the student could describe their work in electivecourses to potential employers as they seek a

The controversialliterature on Britain’s industrial decline to which The Long Shot clearly belongs describes aculture devoted to short termism which would account for the closure of the Registry and thechange in ethos of the VTF [19].5. Short termismJames Hamilton-Paterson, a novelist and writer of non-fiction, contributed “What We HaveLost” to the declinist literature which begins with a detailed description of these opposingtheses [20]. He concluded that the

issues about the underlying philosophy of engineering and engineering education [1].Coming to the fore, from all the division’s activities, these three factors combine to form theultimate drivers to technological and engineering literacy / philosophy of engineering. Thus,with a division and membership already knowledgeable of these three factors, the ultimatemeasure of the success of all that which the division has accomplished will be the ability of thedivision to move into a more public focus.Normally, these discussion points would lead to the development of an organizational structure,attendant positions, and an operating plan aimed at their achievement. However, TELPhE is avolunteer organization within ASEE and must function as such

programs were required to demonstrate they met. The key difference with the prior detailedaccreditation process was to increase flexibility – programs had considerable latitude in defining how theymet the eight criteria and how they planned to improve upon their self-imposed metrics. Subsequentevaluation in the years immediately following the roll-out of EC-2000 indicated that changingaccreditation processes had in fact enacted changes in how degree programs operated and what they did,even down to the level of the classroom [2], [11].Broadly speaking, engineering programs are evaluated on eight separate criteria. Some criteria are relatedto the effectiveness of processes, some to having access to sufficient resources, and others to defining
