committee knew that the EAC would not accept EC 2000 without thisguarantee [32]. The phrase “engineering topics” did, on the other hand, allow programs todifferentiate themselves between those that wished to emphasize engineering design and practiceas opposed to the engineering sciences [31-32].EC 2000, as originally drafted, also placed significant emphasis on program education objectives[35-36]. While it remains unclear how even individual members from Jacobson’s committeeunderstood the purpose of Criterion 2, the basic idea was that programs could build all of theirlearning outcomes around the specific institutional context and program objectives that weredefined, in turn, according to the “needs of the program’s various constituencies.”[35

This allowed the TEE faculty members to model for theteachers instructional strategies appropriate for teaching the specific content and then for the DRteachers to apply what they learned in a mentored environment.The final challenge was the lack of hands-on materials available in the DR classrooms needed toadequately teach technology and engineering content.
