Sustainabilityis becoming so important that the American Society of Engineering Management is in theprocess of publishing its special sustainability issue with features focused on the 3Es. Keytechnical and EM tools in modern EM programs are becoming necessary for today’s leaders forthe implementation of sustainability projects. The rigor, tools and methodologies of an EMgraduate program easily enables

All three tools helped students take their experimental data andpresent it in a usable format.LabworkEngineering is an application of scientific knowledge to real world situations. To truly knowwhat engineering is, students must have some sort of real life situations and projects to workon. That is where the labs come in. These labs are not simple, one-day labs that one wouldexpect to do in a physics or chemistry class. They are a series of related labs, each series

The search committee felt incomingstudents would relate well to someone with a similar background. In addition, Professor Kimblealso had Bachelors degree in Fire Safety Engineering Technology, a Masters degree in IndustrialTraining, and had just completed the course work on an Education Doctorate in InstructionalDesign. All of these factors would be vital in getting a new program going. Twenty-eightstudents were enrolled in the first two classes in the fall of 1999.Curriculum Development:While a curriculum had been developed for the program proposal, the Engineering

Influences may be internal within the program, and include expertise areas of thefaculty and related engineering and other university programs that serve as opportunity areas forcoordination. External influences certainly include accrediting bodies and licensingorganizations; in this case, both ABET and NCEES helped to define the content of our IEprogram. An important influence, especially in building the student learner population, has beenthe challenge of working in a regional environment where there is little knowledge of theindustrial engineering career path. The regional employer base also played and continues toinfluence program development, as both the IE core and the technical electives are structured tobe

Engineering technology facultymembers have many reasons to participate in the industrial certification exam developmentprocess.Nancy: My involvement in the Vibration Institute’s industry-based certification program began when I took a couple of their certification examinations. I did so to establish more credibility in a highly practice-oriented field, while gaining a better understanding of what MET students should study to be competent in vibration-based machinery monitoring. The reliability field has been growing and evolving. Project opportunities regularly arise that require full understanding of rotating equipment, its vibration signatures, and related data acquisition concerns. Maintaining technical currency and ensuring my

Population and SampleThe population for the study was limited to students who were enrolled in accreditedconstruction management programs in three universities in one Midwestern state, therefore,making it a homogenous sample. A convenience sample of students was selected in courses thatwere required by CM students in each of the accredited programs.

.1,5The program goals and detailsThe main goal for proposing the minor in engineering studies is to provide a technologicaleducation to non-engineering students with various backgrounds. The minor is not anengineering degree. This is not a minor in engineering but a minor in engineering studies. Thestudent will not be trained as an engineer (and cannot compete for engineering jobs) but willhave a good understanding of what engineering, engineering design process, technology, andtechnology-related concepts are. This program is trying to build basic literacy in the field, andthe first goal is to provide a perspective for appreciating engineering and technological issues.We are a school of science and technology as well as a land-grant university

The Board of Regents of the Georgia University Systemin 1996 set the number of credit hours for engineering and engineering technology at 129 hours,of which 60 credit hours include social sciences, science, mathematics, humanities, fine arts, andsome major related basic courses2. The remaining credit hours represent the technical core of theengineering technology programs. The subsequent section discusses the specific changesintroduced to the program to provide the flexibility envisioned by the faculty.Civil Engineering Technology Curriculum (2009 – 2010)The prior (2009 – 2010) civil engineering technology curriculum6 was structured in a way thatall the students had to take at least one upper level class in structural design

The assessment and continuous improvement plan discussed here was developedat Old Dominion University (ODU) and implemented during the last accreditation cyclewithin the Engineering Technology Department. The plan is based on two cycles ofassessment and evaluation, a short cycle of one year and a long term cycle of three years.The plan includes a variety of assessment methods and tools. In addition to assessing theachievement of program outcomes, the plan allows assessment of program objectives andgoals. A method for individual course assessment is also presented. Issues related

Product Design & Development 3 cr.hr.Admission RequirementsFollowing are the admissions requirements: • Undergraduate GPA of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale from a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) related discipline. Candidates not holding an appropriate baccalaureate degree may be required to complete necessary prerequisite courses prior to admission to the program. Thus, a baccalaureate degree is required for full standing. Applicants that have baccalaureate degrees in a closely related field will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis and may be admitted to full standing upon completion of identified background courses.
