growingimportance for engineering practice, but the engineering profession seems to be held in lowregard compared to other professions and industry tends to view engineers and technologists asdisposable commodities2.An Associate of Science in Engineering Technology prepares graduates with knowledge skillsand technical problem-solving abilities necessary to success in a wide range of engineeringtechnology disciplines3. The specific ABET ETAC student outcomes for Associate of Science inEngineering Technology are3: a. an ability to apply the knowledge, techniques, skills, and modern tools of the discipline to narrowly defined engineering technology activities; b. an ability to apply a knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology

For the bending simulations, the major vertical loadsacting on the BIW represent the gravitational loads of six occupants with 75 kg placed ateach of the seating locations. The four strut towers were fixed and modeled as ball joints,as illustrated in Figure 9b.

aviation training program as well.Recognizing the heterogeneous nature of job skills for aviation maintenance and inspectionevidenced in the previous example, we realize one-size-fit-all type of framework is not practical.Therefore, we will follow a multiple-job approach, which offers the dual advantages of a commonconceptual framework and customization for individual jobs.The framework of the training will include a) a database comprising of the identifiedcompetencies; b) a presentation layer to conceptualize the specific skill for the user, and c) amapping engine to link up the user-context to the appropriate competency.ConclusionsIn this paper, we have proposed a concept map based paradigm to help aviation industry conductcompetency mapping and

graduates, co-op activities, and potential development ofcollaborative research programs. Unfortunately, adjuncts are marginalized by the academicsystems in place today; and their contributions to the academic process are undervalued. Next,the paper reports on the success story of an adjunct, a practitioner with good credentials, who“teamed-up” with a “full-time” faculty, in an attempt to bring the practice to 4 thyear students in ageotechnical/ foundation engineering class. The success achieved in meeting course objectives,as a result of practitioner’s role, was attributed, in large measure, to proper planning andcoordination that preceded course delivery. Plus, the willingness, experience and abilities of theadjunct in addressing the practice in
