experiences with the transition of our engineering technology programsto engineering programs, because we found very little guidance from the literature for either ac-crediting new programs [1-2] or transitioning from engineering technology to engineering [3].Therefore, we relied on anecdotal information through personal connections with acquaintances atprograms that either transitioned engineering technology programs to engineering programs oradded engineering programs to engineering technology programs and our own efforts. This paperbriefly explains the engineering technology programs’ history leading up to the transition to engi-neering programs. It then explains why we believed that transitioning to engineering programswas the right decision for
