Master of Science in Engineering Technology (MSET) degree has been identifiedfor the State of Washington. Currently, there are no institutions in the entire Northwest that offeran MSET degree program as described in this document. Central Washington University hasfilled that gap by utilizing the resources within the Industrial and Engineering Technology (IET)Department.The Bachelor of Science degree programs in Engineering Technology (ET) or IndustrialTechnology (IT) provide the graduate with hands-on, practical knowledge, which can beimmediately utilized in industry. However, technology is advancing so rapidly that it is necessaryto expose engineering technologists to an understanding of some of the latest advances, that is, toupdate their

While such acourse seemed heavy for undergraduate students, it had the most promising results. Studentslearned an advanced subject usually taught at graduate schools, while it was completely hands-on. Students performed both independent and dependent work in the class. As a result, theyobtained enough knowledge to start working in the semiconductor industry. When the instructordiscussed with the experts in the industry, they stated that the industry required engineers at alllevels.

Often students favor active learning techniques. This is especially true forsenior students, who are more likely to be interested in the hands-on applications of the material[4]. Active learning techniques may include activities like laboratory work, working in groups,and playing with ideas [1, 2]. Unfortunately, most classroom environments are passive settingswith students involved mostly in listening—slightly favoring reflective learners, but not stronglyhelping either style [2].
