technology programs although mechanical orelectrical graduates do the engineering and manage the industry.II. Development ProcessCurrent needs of the packaging industry, especially the machinery manufacturers, call for acombination of electrical and mechanical skills. Some schools such as Penn State and RIT haveinstituted BS degree programs in Electro-Mechanical or Electrical-Mechanical ET and a numberof two year programs in Integrated Systems Technology have sprung up with help fromworkforce development funding. These programs are generally aimed at manufacturing.Analogous interdisciplinary engineering programs tend to concentrate on designing mobilemechanical systems with embedded micro controllers. The packaging industry is in a uniqueposition to
work which can apply to the manufacturing engineering degree. Thesestudents generally end up going into WMU’s’ BS Industrial Management program (a programwith a basis in industrial engineering technology and designed for the non-traditional student).For these students the BSIM degree can be completed in less than half the time required for theBSMfgE.This alternative program also allows the manufacturing engineering faculty to be assigned toteach in the alternate program when not needed in their own program. Additionally, the graduateprograms in industrial engineering and engineering management allow faculty members to“swap” course in appropriate areas of expertise providing richer student experiences in bothprograms.Flexibility In Planning Is

More software engineering techniques wereapplied and students were required to follow the software engineering life cycle:specification, requirements, design, code, and test. The topics in C were covered moregenerically, covering the fundamental principles of variables, loops, logic, functions, Page 12.1579.2files, arrays, and structures. We first covered the fundamental principal in a languageindependent manner, then taught how to implement in C. Later in the term the sametopic was taught again using MATLAB.

engineering technology degree programs alsoface similar questions as to how their program differs from engineering programs. The answersto these questions are invariably that engineering technology programs are based on the practicalapplication of engineering with graduates working to support licensed engineers/architects. Inaddition, engineering programs are theory and design based with graduates focused on designingand managing projects [1]. Students enrolled in Architectural Engineering Technology Programswho plan to become registered architects face an additional challenge however depending on thestate that they plan to seek licensure. Unlike other engineering technology programs andengineering programs which are both accredited by ABET, Bachelor

The program was initiallyaccredited by ABET in 1975 and most recently accredited in 2011.The BSE degree is now housed in the Department of Engineering Fundamentals

As Lasch writes in the foreword to David Noble’s America By Design,“the professionalization of engineering and the establishment of engineering education as arecognized branch of higher learning forged a link between the corporation and the universitythat remains unbroken to this day,” [11]. It has been well documented that engineering collegeand university programs significantly constrains sociopolitical understandings amongstengineering students through a focus on technical education to meet the demands of industry (seefor example [1]; [3]; [12]; [13]; [14]). One element of this touched on within the groupinterviews presented here is a significant absence of labor education and in turn, the relativerarity of unionized engineers and low

theiroptions before making a choice will likely mean that they are more satisfied with the major theyeventually choose. Another advantage to common first-year programs is that they facilitateengagement between engineering faculty and freshman students in a meaningful way. Facultyinvolvement is seen as a key to student retention and engineering programs have often been criti-cized for the contact that first-year students have with faculty in the disciplines. Finally, first-yearprograms enable universities to manage enrollments in some programs more effectively.
