However, prospective students seldom ask how the graduation requirementsmatch the competence elements required to pass the FE and PE examinations. The authorbelieves that prospective students need to know the implication of enrolling in a technologydegree program if their primary objective is to obtain professional engineering registration.College Students in Four-Year Degree ProgramsSome engineering technology students consider opportunities for graduate studies. A significantfactor in their consideration is the type of available

Students were particularly enthusiastic about whatthey had learned about products and services when they were able to see patient interactions.None of the assessment tools demonstrated increased knowledge of the repair or technicalsupport of these rehabilitative healthcare products and services.Some improvements were noted with respect to sensitivity to

. The reality of this requirement is that CET graduates gain ampletraining in CE field and practice operations, whereas CE graduates gain more theory and aretherefore better suited to move on to graduate programs and research and development. Thequestion that rises in this authors mind, is which of these two types of graduates, if only onegroup were to be chosen, would be best suited to become professionally registered practicingengineers? This question will be addressed in more depth later in this paper.Thus far, we have offered no real definition for CET other than to offer the perceptive differencethat CET programs are practice oriented, as opposed to CE programs which are more researchand development oriented.
