where the majority of E and ET graduates flow to themiddle of CDIO and engage in “design-implement” tasks within 3-5 years after graduation.Several implications of a continuum-based framework for engineering education were debatedwithin the context of two alternative curricular approaches. The first approach envisions a two-year curriculum in which E and ET students enroll in a set of common technical core courses. Atthe end of the second year, students would make a well-educated decision to become eitherengineering or engineering technology majors, subsequently completing a BS degree. Thesecond approach mimics the educational models in medicine, nursing, or law. A professionalengineering degree would require a pre-requisite 4-year
