paper is based on the recommendations made by the National Science Foundation andControl Systems Society of IEEE. In light of those recommendations and issues discussed at aNSF/CSS workshop, the author raises the question of appropriate contents for a control systemcourse as taught in a typical first course ET program. Presently, the majority of electrical, somemechanical and almost all electromechanical engineering technology programs have a course intheir curriculum called control systems. Even though they carry the same name, most often theircontents are drastically different. In many programs the focus of the course is on the applicationof typical classical control. There are some programs where the whole course is aboutapplication and

,graduate students, and faculty. This paper analyzes the student learning outcomes, forEngineering and Engineering Technology (E&ET) programs, where the curriculum has beentailored to include undergraduate research, as compared to lecture & lab-based curriculum.Previous research, on which the present work is based, shows that research projects allowstudents to explore, discover and innovate in a limited period of time and space. Theliterature reveals that undergraduate research helps to integrate students with the faculty andresults in publications which appear in peer-reviewed journals. Thus the student is able tocreate portfolios that shed light on their learning and skills development in the professions.Through this work, the following

where the majority of E and ET graduates flow to themiddle of CDIO and engage in “design-implement” tasks within 3-5 years after graduation.Several implications of a continuum-based framework for engineering education were debatedwithin the context of two alternative curricular approaches. The first approach envisions a two-year curriculum in which E and ET students enroll in a set of common technical core courses. Atthe end of the second year, students would make a well-educated decision to become eitherengineering or engineering technology majors, subsequently completing a BS degree. Thesecond approach mimics the educational models in medicine, nursing, or law. A professionalengineering degree would require a pre-requisite 4-year
