development plan for newly hiredengineering technology faculty members as well as engineering technologyadministrators.Although such a plan will go a long way in helping a new engineering technology facultymember, more work and effort are needed on the part of the engineering technologycommunity as a whole to define the field of engineering technology more clearly,differentiating it from both engineering and science areas. If the expectations of teachingexcellence and satisfactory research activity are articulated and clarified for the peers ofengineering technology faculty, it would be of great help to all engineering technologyeducators.Bibliography[1] Johnston, S.

Engineeringenrollments have been historically dominated by white, male students. During recent years, enrollmentsof minority and female students in engineering have increased, but still lag far behind their levels bypopulation proportion. Since 1993, the percent of women studying engineering has fluctuated between17.7 and 20.1%.

Sargent, anhistorian) and explained his idea of a combined course which would explore the engineeringand humanistic side of structures throughout history. Sargent was very enthusiastic aboutthe course, because he recognized immediately its potential for real interdisciplinarycooperation. Both authors agreed on the basic course outline after a few hours of intensediscussion. After that it was all implementation. Sargent believes that engineering studentsshould consider the historical, social, and cultural aspects of buildings, because engineeringdoesn’t happen in a

This encourages team members tocooperate beyond the homework and to help each other in preparation for the tests. Myexperience so far has been that when some groups receive this bonus while others have not, thenfor subsequent tests, it gives extra motivation for the group(s) that missed out. Of course this isgood news for the instructor.The incorporation of the online discussion in any class offers many potential advantagesincluding increased access to course information, greater student engagement with coursematerial, more thoughtful discussions by students and increased interaction between students5.Getting students to

-bordercollaboration has been made possible due to the availability of a larger pool of researchers, thispresents challenges to U.S. competitiveness in high technology areas and to its position as aworld leader in critical S&E fields. Within the US the proportion of Natural Sciences andEngineering (NS&E) degrees as a share of total degrees conferred in US has declined byapproximately eight percent from 2002 to 2007 [1]. There is evidence to suggest that some of thisdecline can be attributed to the student attrition during their first one or two years from thescience and engineering programs.Previous studies have indicated that significant student attrition or “switching” from science andengineering educational programs to other fields occurs during

The calculated maximum current draw over the USB connection is about 114.71mA, sothat the microcontroller and all attached components are well within the limits of the USBconnection. This project is utilizing three of the digital outputs and two of the analog inputs.Each of the 14 digital pins can sink or source a maximum of 40mA. Each of the digital pins willsource about 11.5mA to the connected devices. This is well within the limits of the ATmega 328with plenty of room to spare. The analog inputs provide ten bits of resolution through theATmega328’s analog to digital converter. This allows the five volt reference to be divided into1024 steps.
