some engineering technology programs convert to engineering programs. Is there a place for engineering technology in the engineering education spectrum? If so, what should it look like as an educational experience?Responses to these questions were as follows. (a) Engineering technology’s applied focus could serve as the first two years of a four- year engineering degree (e.g., two year ET plus two year Engineering program). (25) (b) In a CDIO style implementation, e.g., Conceive-Design-Implement-Operate, engineering technology’s role would be to place emphasis on Implement-Operate content (25) (c) Four-year engineering technology programs should be ABET-accredited under the same criteria as engineering programs but retain the
