U.S., RRP programs often focus on indigenous (especiallyNative American Indians), African-American, Hispanic, and female students. In engineeringeducation in New Zealand, Māori and Pasifika ethnicities and female students areunderrepresented compared to their representative proportions of the New Zealand population,but that paucity of Māori students is inconsistent with historic associations with engineering.A case in point is the Ruapekapeka Pa site, acknowledged in New Zealand by the engineeringprofession as an outstanding engineering structure that has been recognized in a nationalregister.9 The engineering innovation employed by Māori, while resisting the colonial forces inthe New Zealand land wars, was a local response to a military

from most discussions of the future of the United States’ technical workforce,however, is the role that engineering technology (ET) education plays or should play insupporting the nation’s technical infrastructure and capacity for innovation. This omission isworrisome because the number of people with this type of education, while smaller than forengineering, is nevertheless substantial. Relatively little is known, for example, about the extentto which the supply of those with 2- and 4-year ET degrees does—or does not—meet the needsof employers; what type of work those with such degrees perform; and the nature andsignificance of the differences between the knowledge, skills, and dispositions of those with ETdegrees and those with engineering
