Since thefocus of this paper is the EET session, there are no comments here on responses for the IndustrialTechnology (IT) and Mechanical Engineering Technology (MET) sessions.The first question asked about the level of technical information (see Figure 12). Three of theteachers thought it was about right for the EET session. One thought there was too muchtechnical material, but did not leave a comment to explain (question 10). Given the overallresponse, no changes to the level of technical detail are planned if this project is used again. Figure 12: Question 1 resultsThe second question was

This was by design, andallows the Department of Engineering Technology to introduce new programs under the BSETwithout approval from outside the university. While the CET, EET and MET programs wereinitiated in the early 1970’s, the General Engineering Technology (GET) program was initiatedin 2001. The GET program was developed to allow students from a wide variety of associatedegree technical science programs to pursue a baccalaureate degree in one of six GET options oreven one of their own design (with approval of the Department Chair).

The focus of this research was to develop strategies thatmay be used to address these challenges. A research team composed of faculty from severaluniversities and community colleges explored what might be needed to make these types oftechnical laboratory course instruction possible using distance learning technologies.

and Assessing ABET “Soft Skills” in the Technical CurriculumAbstractTAC-ABET accreditation requires that each program develop program outcomes that embraceABET criteria 2a to k. Several of those, such as diversity, internationalization, and ethics, areoften referred to as the soft skills. Generally students exposure to these items is through theirelective (or required) courses in the humanities and social sciences. However, ABETaccreditation also requires that the achievement of the outcomes be assessed and evaluated.Obtaining direct evidence of achievement of the outcomes by the students can be problematicalas the other departments may not be doing assessment.

To complete theanalysis of their beams, students generated traditional slope and deflection diagrams fortheir beams, corresponding to the maximum experimental loads. Full projectdocumentation took the format of a technical report, including theoretical development,test procedure, analysis, experimental results, and appropriate figures.Results and DiscussionBased on the students’ calculations, two groups thought their bridges were staticallydeterminate structures.

Once again,there was no difference between both groups of students.Compensation packages.The survey also reveled that students need some additional help in placing an economic value totheir technical skills. The results of the surveys given to the students show not only a great disparitybetween their perceptions in this area, but also a level of unawareness on salary compensation for agiven position and geographical area. Although some of the students who had had interviews werestill confused on this item, this confusion was most evident with the students who had not had aninterview.

In addition to 3D printing, theefficient design of fixed-wing UAS often requires the use of composite materials, larger sizes, complexgeometries, and novel fabrication techniques. Additional challenges include the need for precise controlof weight and balance, control surfaces, and desired flying qualities throughout the range of flightregimes for fixed-wing UAS.This paper describes efforts being employed within University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF
