simple example problems, but simulation tools such as finite elementmethod or computational fluid dynamics are introduced in the senior year elective courses. Thismay explain why simulation is considered as a task for a special group of engineers in industry.University of Cincinnati-Siemens Simulation Technology Center (UC-Siemens Center) waslaunched recently with a gift by Siemens PLM aiming at revolutionizing engineering educationto change this situation. Simulation tools are introduced across the curriculum of the UCMechanical Engineering program (UC-ME) starting from early-year courses in a carefullycoordinated way. The new approach enables students to connect fundamental theories taught inthe course to realistic engineering applications and

than twice as likely to enroll in an ET program versus Engineering. Wesuspect it may be due to traditional Engineering programs’ requirement of higher levels of mathand science classes, often lacking in under-privileged or underserved urban or rural high schools.Recently published research by the New York Equity Coalition supports this supposition.Understanding the reasons for the higher representation of these students in ET can provideinsights on the background of these students for developing effective practices and programmingto improve retention of this cohort. It would also provide useful information for increasing thediversity of traditional engineering programs. This paper presents initial findings from a work inprogress that is part

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

The first PurdueUniversity courses in the city were defense training courses sponsored by the U.S. Office ofEducation.

A technology that supports theprocess improvements and the evolution of quality inspection plans is the Coordinate MeasuringMachine (CMM). Many companies are adopting such technology due to the high precision andrepeatability of these machines. However, they require specialists for their operation with a newset of skills that combine Metrology, Computer Aided Design (CAD), Geometric Dimensioningand Tolerancing (GD&T), Computer Programming and Problem Solving.The Engineering Technology Department at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley(UTRGV) has created a curriculum that includes the development of such skills and hasequipped its metrology

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.

Students enrolled in the senior capstonecourse must take standards into consideration as they design new jigs, fixtures, or products forindustry partners. Students often have to ask the company mentor for a list of standards theproduct must conform to, or if the fixture must meet or perform any standard test procedure. It isthen up to the students to decipher what technical content is relevant to their specific apparatus.The approach at Purdue University has not been to significantly change any course, but ratherutilize existing projects that have

Intentional contact with students with the goal of developing a caring and beneficial relationship typically leads to increased academic motivation and persistence. 2. When Engineering and Engineering Technology students faces academic challenges, sometimes they are hesitant to visit the faculty as they see it as a failure on them. What is intuitive to faculty is new to students. They may not see the relevance or meaning in the content or courses they have to take. Explaining it to them in a way that relates understanding is key to

that, “There is a disconnect between whatbusiness leaders need and what higher education institutions think they are producing.”10 Thequestion in higher education, especially in the technical fields like engineering and engineeringtechnology, is how to fit more into an already full curriculum, which will enable a student tocomplete a program in four years. While it may be impossible to completely indulge industry andbusiness with all of the soft skills they require for their employees, it is possible to providestudents an advantage by encouraging them to take a study abroad course.In the study, Gaining an Employment Edge: The Impact of Study Abroad on 21st Century Skillsand Career Perspectives, “A majority of respondents reported that their

Perhaps there is someblame to be placed on the university and industry, a problem not being adequately addressed byboth.

These concerns were ranked #2, # 3, and # 4 in a research finding among technology educators2. Likewise, in a recent surveyamong prospective employers, 30% of 250 respondents did not have any awareness about theengineering technology program and one-third of those who claimed to have awareness aboutthe program could not distinguish the difference between the work performed by the engineersto the work performed by the engineering technologist accurately3.
