Let us begin by examining the professional functions of an engineering technologist upon being given an open-ended design project. The ET will invariably work in a design group; will initially research the project fully; will create and consider several possible design paths; will prepare a Design Proposal and Cost Estimate that is subject to (client) approval; will carefully schedule the project work which may include prototyping; will prepare formal Progress Reports; may develop a

noted, this process can be time consuming and overwhelming.Time is of concern for teachers also because of the pressure they face to deliver effectiveinstruction that facilitates learning. If a lesson does not go well, the time spent on it cannot beregained. Therefore, integrating technology involves an investment of time learning how to do soand comes with the risk that it may not go well; perhaps to the detriment of students in the formof ineffective instruction. These time-related complexities were explained by T13: “I think it's difficult to get that practice with these sorts of things… throughout the school day.

The core classes aim to achieve the ABET learning goals [5] with specialattention being given to “identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems” and“apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs.” This development ledto the creation of a new course, ME 102 Foundations of Product Realization, an introductorycourse to the relevant fields.
