It quickly became clear that as the curriculum was being developed, the future of thedepartment and the profession were also being reflected upon and discussed. The departmentalculture was being discussed in specific ways, as in the negotiation of the objectives that thefaculty members felt distinguished the education of an electrical engineering technologist froman electrical engineer.In terms of information literacy, it is uncertain that in fact information literacy and lifelonglearning objectives will be introduced through the curriculum in a meaningful way.
