Currently, allengineering technology programs at the college are under review, due to low enrollment, with theprospect of further combining of the programs being a real possibility.Initially all of the degree programs had their own respective orientation classes. These classes hadreal merit in that they were quite focused, and allowed the individual programs to provide trainingwithin these courses in subjects which the students would later need. These courses did, however,have some shortfalls in areas which today are becoming more and more important. For example, ageneral overview of the entire engineering technology area was not

However, all topics, especiallyfundamental ones are important in an engineering education because engineers are facingincreasingly complex challenges and opportunities; consequently, collaboration betweenengineers of multiple disciplines becomes very important.
