data indicates that 78.2% of students attempted a different major prior to requesting a change of curriculum to engineering technology. Anecdotal information indicates that students made this change for two primary reasons. These include a) realizing their interests were more compatible with the less theoretical, more applications-oriented education afforded by an engineering technology degree; b) being required to change majors by their original department. In both cases, this often resulted in non-transferrable credit hours representing lost time and added financial burden. In the latter case, there was also often negative and long-lasting impacts on grade point as well as the emotional toll associated

It includes an adjustableframe adjusted by wing nuts and one bolt for securing the machine (figure 2b). Making the guard adaptableallows the operator to set the exact amount of belt he or she needs to be exposed, ultimately reducing thework envelope and reducing the contact with the belt.

While the jobs are available andpossess an enjoyable challenge, the entry level wage may be a barrier to entry for many youngpeople who are looking to start a family and gain their independence. Of course, as demandincreases for qualified machinists, the wages will most likely increase to attract more employees.Based on these results, companies and educators need to work together to recruit more youngpeople, who are preparing for college, to choose a career as a machinist.

Another consideration in the degree of formality is the extent to which guidelines for the mentorship roles are outlined, including relationship goals, how and when to interact in the mentorship, and a prearranged length for the mentoring relationship. b. Tie strength: Intended closeness of the mentoring relationship. [30] The concept of tie strength can be used to define how close a mentoring relationship is, i.e. strongly or weakly tied. Typically formal faculty-student relationships evolve to strongly tied relationships, but ultimately it is a function of breadth, intensity, and duration of interactions. c
