, BRAZIL E-mail: drbrito@copec.eu Abstract - The differences between ET and traditional engineering programs are not always obvious. There is a great overlap between the two fields of study. In most engineering schools, both types of engineering programs strongly emphasize mathematics and science, especially physics and calculus. While the main topics in both programs appear similar, ET content emphasizes the application of engineering techniques and traditional engineering content will focus on the development of concepts, it is what is called design engineering. ET graduates and traditional engineering programs complement each other in skills and interests. Application engineers work with
Session ETD 435 Professional Preparation for Architectural Engineering Technology Students Elizabeth Petry, AIA Associate Professor and Architecture Licensing Coordinator University of HartfordAbstract:The University of Hartford’s Architectural Engineering Program (AET) or pre-architecture program is based on the blending academic-based theoretical studies withprofessionally based problem solving. Our objective has always been “to preparestudents for a variety of professional careers in the design and building
Session ETD 435 Coaching Points for Successful Leadership in Large High Technology Companies Andrew J. Czuchry East Tennessee State UniversityAbstractA system engineering and process management approach is offered to mitigate risks for strategicdecision making in large high technology based companies. This approach is based upon the riskmitigation methodology of project management together with a process approach to deploying afull scale engineering development for a complex hardware system. The cost of decision makingis related to the
Paulo, BRAZIL E-mail: drciampi@copec.eu Abstract - It is a fact that even some engineering professors work in researches with the industry; it is interesting to note that the industry has little or no interest in investing in the training of engineers to work in the industries during under-graduation level. Their perception still does not show that it is an investment. The communications between engineering schools and industry has evolved however it is still very humble. Another fact is that university professors, who are often judged primarily by their performance as researchers, do not have time to develop relationships and resources beyond their teaching materials at their disposal. Likewise
Session ETD 526Multidisciplinary Engineering Technology: Rapidly Responding to Educational Opportunities Jay R. Porter, Joseph A. Morgan Engineering Technology and Industrial Distribution, Texas A&M University In the Fall of 2016, the Department of Engineering Technology and Industrial Distribution(ETID) at Texas A&M University opened a new degree program entitled MultidisciplinaryEngineering Technology (MXET). This new program is structured to give students a strongunderpinning in both the electronics and mechanical engineering technology disciplines
Session ETD 516 Development of an Embedded RTOS Educational Platform – Hardware Design and Development Gang Sun, Northern Kentucky UniversityAbstract A Real-time Operating System (RTOS) is an operating system that effectively manages thehardware resources of an embedded system that requires very precise timing and high reliability.Because of the lack of time and lab facilities, most U.S. Electronic Engineering Technology(EET) programs do not usually offer the course related to embedded real-time systemsdevelopment or they just emphasize concepts of
. Thisexperience gives the student motivation to complete their degree and enter industry aftergraduation. Internships benefit all of the stakeholders: the student gains valuable, marketableskills that give them a head start to a career; the employer has the opportunity to screen potentialfuture employees; the engineering technology programs’ recruitment and retention rates increase.Teaching in an engineering technology 2+2 program has given me experience with students of abroad age range. I began to notice that some of the younger students were not as engaged in theclassroom, were absent more often, and seemed to only be concerned with passing the courseand not necessarily understanding the concepts. The problem did not seem to be related toaptitude, but

Session ETD 506 Industry Advisory Boards in Engineering Technology Barry Lunt BYUAbstract It is standard practice for Engineering and Engineering Technology programs to have anIndustry Advisory Board (IAB). These boards or councils meet regularly with the faculty andstaff of the academic program and interact with them in a variety of ways. An important questionis how effective are these boards? In 2007, Genheimer and Shehab1 published a study of IABs in engineering educationwith a model and a case study. Two years later, the same

Is there a difference between female and male hourly wages for engineering students in a mandatory co-op program?2. Are the results simply because of region? i.e. is this phenomenon relegated only to Cincinnati or to the State?3. Is there still a difference when examining profession, major, or co-op term number?4. If we control for Location, Citizenship, Ethnicity, GPA and credits earned are we still able to predict a significant variance in hourly wage for Females and Males
