Generally, the composition of an advisoryboard and frequency of meetings are left to the discretion of the program. However, the programshould receive input and feedback regularly from a diverse constituent group who can offer adiscipline-specific perspective associated with graduate workplace performance or transferstudent success. Most importantly, the documentation of these exchanges can serve as a reliablerecord of emerging technology discussions as well as recommendations and ideas for the future.This record can serve as an invaluable tool when faculty composition changes

Cases from aquatic, terrestrial and atmospheric environments arediscussed. The students also get an introduction to some of the major environmental laws. Thisis mostly a survey course with some elements of engineering design in environmental systems.The breadth of the topics can lead to student perception of unrelated items in a textbook. Evenwhen problems are based as real life examples, the students appear to have difficultyunderstanding that the course material is all interrelated and can be applied to complexenvironmental problems.

perform necessary labprocedures. This can lead to an over dependence on the instructor for information, which canresult in frustration for both students and instructor. A lot of lab time is often spent waiting forinstructor assistance, which can result in student loss of interest, motivation, and focus on the laband its objectives. Also, students may have little or no understanding of how and where the labconcepts and principles can be applied in real world problems. Therefore, an alternativeapproach to physical lab instruction is desirable. Innovations in technology provide several waysto improve lab instruction. For example, students could prepare for labs through on-line pre-labtutorials and quizzes that explore the lab principles and test

More specifically then: ET graduates focus on using current or emerging technology to solve (applied) engineering problems that industry faces in the short to medium time frame. The word “applied” is included in parenthesis because although several colleagues haveinsisted on highlighting that the industry problems solved by ET graduates are appliedengineering problems, I personally feel that “applied” can be left out without any negativeconsequences.

Educators are now generally agreed that it is possible to improve students’problem-solving skills through carefully selected instructional practices. But what aboutproviding instructional aids to improve students’ study procedures outside of class? In supportof this effort, the learning theory known as constructivism has been applied as changes are madein the way engineering courses are being taught using technology-based instructional aids. Theconstructivist reform links directly to the accepted educational philosophies of John DeweyPiaget, and Bruner 8-10, which support students developing their own understanding byintegrating new information to their own prior knowledge and

Technology is recognized as a field that is primarily focused on engineering ideas, values, and the technical skills for development through application10. ET is broadly defined by areas of research, production, operations, and programs that are designed for specific engineering-related fields11. As a broad discipline, engineering technology incorporates cognate areas that often cross academic departmental boundaries to meet the goal of integrating the areas involved under one degree program. Engineering technology is an area that emphasizes the teaching of industry-standard technical information and skills, preparing graduates for immediate productivity to society, integrating general and technical skills and knowledge, and
