the music and engineering technology curriculums. By leveraging tools from Lean Six-Sigma DMADV process (Define, Measure, Analyze, Design, Verify) the students were able togo from concept to prototype in seven weeks.Background and IntroductionThe inception of this project was with an Electrical Engineering Technology student whosupports himself as a disk jockey (D.J.) His music was stored and controlled by a laptop. Thishad several drawbacks. First, he had to stay at the table with the laptop to start or mix anymusic; he wanted to have options to control the music with a hand-held device, like a smartphone. Another concern was the vagaries of the PC operating system: if the computer needed tore-boot, or had other problems with software, the

Electrical Engineering Technology curriculum is to startwith several courses in digital and analog electronics along with the appropriate Alternating andDirect Current (AC/DC) circuit analysis classes. For the digital class the introduction material iscovered in the first class such as basic logic gates, number systems, Boolean algebra, Karnaughmapping, flip-flops, latches, counters and programmable logic devices. A second semester digitalcourse would cover the internal structure of logic families, complex digital circuits, synchronouslogic, A/D and D/A conversion, timing diagrams, computer bus systems, programmable logicdevices (PLD), and complex circuit debugging, digital interfacing various logic families to eachother as well as digital Input

of thecommonalities and differences will be discussed in this paper.IntroductionWhat distinguishes a BSE and a BSET? Should you care? To answer the question, you mustknow what the letters stand for. In the first case, the E represents Engineering. In the second,the ET stands for Engineering Technology. There may be an even more defining term as eachcan cover specific engineering programs such as Electrical (BSEE/BSEET), Mechanical(BSME/BSMET), Industrial (BSIE/BSIET), and so forth. You may ask again, why should youcare? To better understand the difference can be approached by looking at the ABET programcriteria (1,2) used as part of the process in accrediting university programs. It should be notedthat ABET has additional requirements for

About 88% of all IUPUI studentsare from Indiana with 56% being female and 44% being male, and 17% are students of color.The Purdue School of Engineering and Technology (ET) was formed in 1972 and is thesuccessor to Purdue University programs that began in Indianapolis in 1940. The first PurdueUniversity courses in the city were defense training courses sponsored by the U.S. Office ofEducation. After World War II, the curriculum was changed from a certificate to a diplomaprogram. Three technical-institute programs were established: drafting and mechanicaltechnology, electrical technology, and

that ET is slowly but steadily making its footprint in the workforce market.Department of Labor reports approximately 200,000 electrical, electronics, and industrialtechnician were employed in the US in 20164.According to long-term projections (2016-2026) by Louisiana Workforce Commission in2016, for the seven northwest Louisiana parishes, the current demand of 4,230 in 2016 for thejobs in industrial/manufacturing maintenance and repairs is estimated to increase to 4,610 by20265. This shows a gradual increase in demand for the maintenance technician in the region.This number is much larger for the state and the country for the same projection window.According to the Federation for Advanced Manufacturing Education (FAME)6, advancedmanufacturing

in, they soon discover that the field is vast, asare available resources. This paper offers suggestions, from the perspective of what studentsreally need to know as they begin their professional careers, for technical instructors new to thefield of ethics, focusing on the following: resources, approaches, and case methodology.ContextWhile many colleges and universities offer ethics classes through specialized departments, thispaper advocates an “ethics across the curriculum” (EAC) approach. Similar to the writing acrossthe curriculum movement of years past, EAC proponents integrate the study of ethics intocourses in the major, rather than farming it out to a philosophy department.
