Session: 2247 General Engineering Technology- A Broader Spectrum of Student Needs Paul Kauffmann and Vernon W. Lewis Old Dominion UniversityAbstractThe need for energetic focus on workforce development is well documented. However, there isno clear road map on how community colleges and universities should collaborate to supportthese programs. This paper examines an innovative, new baccalaureate degree that provides apossible model for these efforts. Old Dominion University has developed an extensive distancelearning system that includes 32 remote community college sites and a total of

As Iowa State’s “Toyingwith Technology Program” reports, elementary school is an ideal place to introduce concepts ofengineering. Why? Because children are “natural engineers”: give them some materials andmany times, they start to build.(2) This interesting example is the partnership between IowaState’s Engineering Department and Education Department’s joint program named “Toying withTechnology”2.
