However, new Ph.D. graduates inEngineering are decreasing. Is it any wonder that only 37 percent of those advertised positionswere filled7. An objective may be to overcome the resistance of traditional university facultywho do not accept the master’s degree in engineering technology as a terminal degree. However,with this objective comes the responsibility of
