certainly more than five issues worthy ofdiscussion, these are ones with which the author has had recent experience and which seemparticularly important in the context of engineering technology education today.Student IssuesThe only student issue which will be discussed in this paper is retention. It is not a topic which isfrequently considered to be an administrative issue, but there are a number of thingsadministrators can do to improve retention. Retention is critical if for no other reason than itdoes us no good to recruit a student if we do not retain that student. Students leave school orchange majors for a variety of reasons, some of which are totally out of the control of theinstitution. However, some situations exist where we can help
