troubleshooting. With that in mind, a sample of institutions providingthe two-year degrees in electrical/electronic engineering technology was surveyed. The mainitems that were investigated were the programs’ focus and the approach that they used (bottom-to-top or top-to-bottom) based on the program schedule and the course descriptions. (Please notethat bottom-to-top scheme implies teaching from component up to the system level; hence, top-to-bottom means the opposite approach.) All the schools that were part of the survey follow thebottom-to-top approach; the list of them is given in Table 2. Despite this fact, each program hadsome slight differences from the other. One very common, but not universal, course that wasoffered was typically called
