Technology MissionEngineering technology education in the United States can trace its history back to theWickenden and Spahr study of 1931, which identified the place of engineering technologyeducation in the technical spectrum3. By 1946, the first engineering technology program wasaccredited using procedures developed by the Engineering Council for ProfessionalDevelopment. Over the last 57 years, engineering technology education in the United States hasdistinguished itself by a history of evolution and continuous improvement. Engineeringtechnology education is in the midst of radical change and is facing several challenges during thenext decade. The radical change is driven in part by the evolution of accreditation philosophiesand the rapid
