engineering technology (ET) degree at WCU is built on a strong liberal arts foundation of 42hours. The ET program favors the manufacturing and mechanical engineering disciplines at itscore and incorporates hands-on projects into each course. The theme of product development isthreaded through the courses and includes extensive solid modeling, design, prototyping, reverseengineering and automation. The large liberal arts sequence results in a squeeze on credit hoursand limits adding additional courses to the program. As a result, the initial efforts to injectinnovation and creativity into the curriculum meant restructuring existing courses. Two courses,ET461 Project Management for Engineers (3 credit hours) and ET478 Senior Capstone Project(3 credit
