TechnologyMajor (ENET), a concentration within Electrical Engineering Technology (EET) that focuses on electricalenergy and power systems. As part of this degree program, a gateway course will be required for all EETsophomores that is designed to recruit into the ENET major, to serve as an introduction to AC systemsanalysis, and to explain electric energy and power systems in a systems context. This course wasdesigned specifically with the IEEE mandate in mind, and great importance was placed on meeting theprogram characteristics described above. Therefore, the course content was chosen to emphasize theapplication of building renewable and efficient electric power systems. Topics such as renewable energyresources (wind, solar, and fuel cells), cleaner

This trend is likely to continue to increase as the manufacturing sector continuesto transform to a high tech, high value added, less labor-intensive industry using advancedautomated systems.Workers who can create, maintain and operate these advanced automated systems are not easy tofind. Even in troubled economic times, U.S. manufacturers have been experiencing a skillsshortage in the area of industrial automation4. The aging of the manufacturing workforceexacerbates the problem.

2016. This is after a 9.9% tuition increase in 2012-2013. Withcuts to financing programs and other federal grants, the burden of paying for college may detereconomically disadvantaged URMs from going to college or graduating from college. The effects of the budget cuts and tuition increases can be seen in the decrease in enrollmentat HBCUs. Of the eleven HBCUs in NC, only three saw enrollment percentage increases in full-time students, while seven saw double digit decreases from 2010-2013. Smaller colleges anduniversities such as HBCUs and UNCP, which are URM dominated, have smaller endowmentsand depend heavily on tuition dollars and government funding to continue operations.C.
