They suggested that internships and co-ops s also be mandatory, asshould one-on- one counseling with a technology career counselor for every student. They alsonoted that guidance in the job hunt was available while they were students, but not offered post-graduation.Ten of the engineering technology graduates stated that they had issues with potential employersbecause they had an engineering technology degree. The comments received in support of theseanswers included large corporations don’t value engineering technology and engineering degreesthe same; some had to explain engineering technology was a “real degree.” It was noted that ifthey hadn’t interned at the company first, the

the students free rein in theirreflections, we thought it more useful to prompt them through the following questions: ● Did you, as an individual, come up with more than one design idea when working on the project? How did you decide on which idea(s) to share with your team? ● Did your original design idea(s) change after listening to your teammates' ideas? If so, in what ways did they change? ● Were there any ideas that you or your team initially deemed "bad" ideas that you ended up using? Or were there any "good" ideas that you got rid of? Explain why. ● Describe the process your team went through to narrow down ideas and arrive at a final project design. What factors did your team

has occurred to document such reasonsthere are at least two significant studies that help inform program developers. The first was Scottet al.’s 2004 report30 investigating motivations of students in business, engineering and educationprofessional doctorate programs. More recently Wellington & Sikes31 addressed the sameresearch question. Notably, the latter researchers observed, as did Humphrey & McCarthy32 in1999, that doctoral students “no longer form a homogeneous population” (p.725). Among themotivations were: renewal, personal satisfactions e.g., overcoming challenges, becoming excep-tional, a differentiator from the MBAs, work demands, the flexibility of such programs, i.e., aperceived difference from what some perceived as
