Device Technologies: A System-Based Overview Using Engineering Standards 1 isdivided into two Parts. In Part I, foundational medical device topics, such as some commonsensors of medical instruments, are described in chapter 1. Students are then exposed to 19 basicmedical devices in 19 chapters: the electrocardiograph, pacemaker, external defibrillator,implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), heart valve, blood pressure monitor, catheter/baremetal stent, hemodialysis delivery system, mechanical ventilator, pulse oximeter, thermometer,electroencephalograph, deep brain stimulator, cochlear implant, functional electrical stimulator,intraocular lens implant, hip prosthesis, drug-eluting stent, and artificial pancreas.

set of course distributionrequirements. We initiated the discussion of what these outcomes should be by proposing a setof goals for all graduates.Development of OutcomesOur initial proposal originated from within the School of Engineering. With the ABET EC20001criteria and the University's mission statement as starting points, we proposed a set of six goalsfor all graduates, not just engineering students. These goals were in addition to those required bya student's major department and are stated here: Communication: Graduates should have the ability to communicate their ideas effectively using traditional written and oral presentations as well as using modern information technology. Cultural Diversity: Graduates should have an
what is good for the global community in engineering related efforts, and notjust one’s own country or group. It refers to one’s ability to make sound judgements based onglobal needs in which engineering and associated technologies can have impact on globalimprovement. Finally, Global Engineering Community Connectedness is the last subscale. Thissubscale refers to one’s awareness of humanity and appreciation of interrelatedness of all peopleand nations and the role that engineering can play in improving humanity, solving humanproblems via engineering technologies, and meeting human needs across national boundaries[23].Table 2: EGPI Sample Items by Selected Subscales/Constructs Subcale/Construct Sample Index Item Engineering Ethics

The feedback loop is closed with the evaluation of the courseversus outcomes and outcomes versus ABET criteria matrix. Program objectives andprogram constituents such as the students and alumni are also involved in the process.The achievement of the program outcomes and objectives is at the heart of the assessmentprocess. In this paper, the focus is on the program outcomes and how they are achieved atthe course level.1.

ten-year follow-up study of EET graduates was completed. This study concerned itself with current and past job functions, salary analysis, job progression,prior (to graduating) work experience and course analysis. This paper will concentrate on thecourse analysis. SURVEY DEMOGRAPHICS A survey was sent out to over 450 graduates of the electrical engineering technology programat NJIT, representing graduates from this program over a ten year period. The 60 graduatesresponding represented a 13% response rate. While names and other demographic informationwere optional, over 80% of the respondents included that information. This will help withfurther follow-up studies. Over 85% of the respondents worked two
% of this staggering total. In terms of the football field example, the annual energyused for heating, cooling, lighting, and appliances is equivalent to a coal pile over 100 mileshigh. Although the availability of coal and other fossil fuels is gradually decreasing, U.S. energyconsumption is steadily increasing.2 It is not surprising that new technologies for efficientlymanaging energy use, particularly energy used for indoor climate control, are becomingextremely important.The growing importance of energy conservation is reflected by several new career opportunitiesfor Technologists and Engineers.

engineer with the ability to design a particular system can take responsibility for the system, identifying all the necessary aspects of the design, and match objectives with appropriate technological solutions. As an engineer develops, the engineer’s abilities also develop so that more challenging and difficult problems can be solved.The reasoning behind the levels of competency is that attainment of the BOK is expected tooccur through formal education and practical experience during the pre-licensure and post-licensure periods. Figure 1 shows where each level of BOK competency is expected to beattained. For the portion of the BOK that is expected to be achieved through formal education,the job of the Curriculum
