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
students of allbackgrounds is key to this effort. Measuring the additional effects of theseextracurricular resources can incline more universities to include them on theircampuses.References[1] K.

Paper ID #25659Theorizing the Role of Engineering Education for Society: Technological Ac-tivity in Context?Mr. Andrew Doyle, KTH Royal Institute of Technology Andrew Doyle is a Doctoral Student at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. His doctoral research focuses on the relationship between curricula and enacted practice in Technology education. He is also interested in the Philosophy of Technology and Engineering, and the role of Technology and Engineering education for society.Dr. Lena B. Gumaelius, KTH Royal Institute of Technology Dr Lena Gumaelius has a background as a researcher in Biotechnology, in
across traditional academic“course” boundaries. The author has been actively seeking projects that meet all these criteria.Besides the metal detector, several other interesting projects have been tried by others forillustrating concepts of electromagnetics: a capacitive weight sensor [3], a capacitive rain gauge,an electric field probe, a non-contact AC current meter [4] and an electromagnetic crane [10].While the metal detector project as an example of project-based learning has been suggested,along with others, the literature lacks examples of detailed educational experience in the area ofelectromagnetics, a void that this author is attempting to help fill with the contribution of thispaper. The author has found the capacitive rain gauge and

modern physics.The circuits material begins with DC circuits, transitions to AC circuits, and finalizes withtransformers and electrical power transmission. The waves section consists of mechanical, sound,and electromagnetic waves. Wave interference, the Doppler effect, and Young’s double-slitexperiment are also examined. In fluids, the students learn about Bernoulli’s, Pascal’s, andArchimedes’ principles. The last section of modern physics consists of the photoelectric effect,Compton scattering, lasers, and De Broglie wavelength.United States Military Academy (USMA) History, Digital Collections, and Unique ResourcesThe Unique Resources of the U.S. Military Academy Library include documentation of the historyof West Point and its alumni.

conversations bydesign learners in mechanical engineering, industrial engineering, choreography and a number ofother disciplines. “The electrical components aren’t gonna be actually on the assembly be- cause we don’t want any component or batteries being near an explosion because that could cause it to be dangerous. So we’re running off the ac- tual mechanism so no electrical components will be actually on it. [...] it’s gonna be a wire running off of it...”In this case, the provisoed assertion can be summarized as follows.P : Electrical components or batteries will be in danger of loss.Q: Explosion occurs.Therefore, the argument to justify the decision of housing the electronic parts off the main

enthusiastic individual with a passion for teaching and the ability to think outside the box. When Aaron became the head of the electronics program at St. Cloud Technical & Community College in 2009, the program’s existence was being threatened by very low enrollment. Since then, he has been the driving force for the success of the program and has played a major role in the development of other new programs at SCTCC. Aaron was instrumental in helping SCTCC partner with Xcel Energy in 2010 to develop the Nuclear Tech- nician Program. The program is designed to prepare graduates for work as Nuclear Plant Maintenance Technicians. The nuclear track is the newest addition to SCTCC’s current catalog of energy tracks: wind
