TheMaster of Science in technology is, by design and necessity, cross disciplinary, to serve thediverse needs of the students in the school and in the field.This paper will review important issues in developing a master’s level degree in technology, andwill discuss the importance of considering the leadership and soft or conceptual skills areas forcurriculum. Furthermore, review of the federal statistics on job outlook for some higher levelpositions in engineering technology fields will be presented in support of the curriculum

learning math as part of theirgame course is surprise and objection. ‘This is a game making class, not a math class’ is thegeneral sentiment. The objection is manifested at the time of the first pre-test, when studentssimply refuse to answer the test questions. In this section we present the different strategies andtechniques we used to embed math content into the game making curriculum. The challengeswere myriad and included introducing math into the curriculum, designing authentic integration,dealing with computer distraction, and translating games skills to standards-based content andultimately their application in a standards-based text context. Students in the class create threegames, a maze game, a shooting scroller game, and a platform game

This trend is largely driven by changes in portable computing technology (andcost) and recent changes in patent law. At MSOE the electrical engineering faculty have embracedthis trend across the curriculum, and have seen mostly beneficial impacts.On the administrative side, faculty have appreciated the due date flexibility, timestamping of sub-missions, and easy

With the help of apowerful computational and organizational tool, more engineering analysis can be taught andlearned throughout the thermodynamics course. An added ability to properly organize theanalysis allows for better documentation and review at a later date. One of the most powerfultools with ready availability for most students is Microsoft Excel. Its unique capabilities like themacros in Visual Basic provide ample ability for calculations in engineering analysis.
