Exhibit 3. The definition of a technician used in the 1956 White paper.8.3. In sum the intention of developing Colleges of Advanced Technology (CATS as theywere called) was that they would ultimately enjoy a status comparable with that of auniversity. Nevertheless, the government of the day confirmed its intention of creating a dualsystem of education at the highest level and this remained in place until 1992

An example of engineering education research applied to student retention isgiven by Fortenberry et al.[10].We believe U.S. engineering education practice could benefit from the pursuit of engineeringeducation research and the careful application research findings. For example, the statistics onthe drop-out rates of engineering programs indicate there is room for improvement in currentpractice. On average, 40% of undergraduate students nationally leave engineering beforegraduation, with

During a series of workshops being held in Afghanistan, a study was conducted through USAID funding, where a few Afghan participants were brought to the US to look into the Technical Vocational Education in Indiana. The final recommendation of the study came in the form of a white paper entitled “Technology Workforce Development.”8 In this paper, it is recommended to establish five Human Resource Development Centres, four regional centres, and one in Kabul.

adaptable whichis one of the demands that industry makes of colleges. Put another way how do schoolsprepare workers cope with technological change? One of us has argued that adaptabilitydepends on a liberal education that has an epistemological basis of the kind proposed byNewman for the enlargement of the mind and has shown how engineering fits into the model[16]. Another way of considering adaptability is to look at it from the perspective of thetransfer of knowledge and skill. For example, a person may be faced with taking a job thatrequires substantially different skills and attitudes to those developed in that person’seducation or their career to date. If the individual can transfer relevant elements of their skillset they may be able to more

Employees sense the need to enhancetheir knowledge in order to compete in this new world. On the other hand, the cost of highereducation has been increasing in the US.

appeared in public and private life. This market-based logic associated withneoliberalism has extended into the area of higher education and public policy. In effect, the shifthas entailed a marketization of higher education by treating it as a market good, applyingassociated rules and norms, and attempting to minimize the role of government intervention inorder to liberalize the higher education sector. Given engineering education’s embedding withhigher education, the same shift has arguably affected engineering education. The reader shouldnote that we do not intend to use the term “neoliberal” in a pejorative sense nor as shorthand forsomething inherently insidious for the purposes of the paper; rather, it is a characterization of ageneral

While teachers are rightly concerned with the extent towhich politicians, commentators and other professionals rank them as a profession, the publicusually associates teaching as a non-professional activity, and this relates as much to universityteaching as it does to school teaching. These examples illustrate how the concept of a professionchanges. Clearly the extent to which a profession has power within the “political scene” is afunction of its prestige.The use of the term “professional”To make the claim that teaching engineering or engineering technology within a university shouldbe a professional activity this section explores
