Information about actual industrialproblems was gathered by visiting companies and discussing with key personnel the issuesfacing technicians in telecommunications. Then five sample case studies were developed.INTRODUCTIONUsing structured case studies to introduce real world applications is popular and successful inbusiness related programs. Presently, professors in engineering technology programs make littleuse of structured case studies. Is there a way to successfully implement case studies into anengineering technology curriculum? If so, what format should be
