or failure of a project will impact the engineer’s future joband projects. These trajectories can be seen in Figure 3. In undergraduate engineeringcoursework, many technical courses are linked together sequentially throughout consecutivesemesters. For example, it is common for a student to take a linear progression of mathematicalcourses starting with Calculus 1, followed by Calculus 2, then Calculus 3, next Linear Algebra,and lastly Differential Equations. This example is shown in Figure 3 as well. These sequentialcourses build upon one another conceptually, and students can smoothly transition from onecourse to the next throughout their degree. This sequence of courses is very common for thetechnical-based courses, but not for the design

One complication is the schedules of the instructors, whomay be teaching summer courses. The other noteworthy complication is in scheduling the structuresdiscussion and the ensuing bridge design. The bridge CAD models are all fabricated using the two 3-Dprinters, and the process is somewhat time consuming.

In addition, it allows students to study deeper into topics of interest, includingconcepts, equations, applications, and emerging technologies. Moreover, students gain valuableinsights from peers’ presentations while receiving feedback and detailed explanations frominstructors during Q&A sessions.

Laboratory Content: It is generallyaccepted that laboratory experiences are prominent in engineering technology programs1,3. Theyare essential to the learning style of most engineering technology students, especially early intheir academic programs. Laboratory experiences have been given more emphasis inengineering programs since EC2000. Hence, in general, the importance of laboratoryexperiences in engineering and engineering technology programs have become more aligned andis not the distinguishing factor that it was pre-EC2000.Using Mathematics to Learn About Technology: This attribute has wide variation among currentengineering technology programs.
