However, prospective students seldom ask how the graduation requirementsmatch the competence elements required to pass the FE and PE examinations. The authorbelieves that prospective students need to know the implication of enrolling in a technologydegree program if their primary objective is to obtain professional engineering registration.College Students in Four-Year Degree ProgramsSome engineering technology students consider opportunities for graduate studies. A significantfactor in their consideration is the type of available

The reasons for using the hybrid to PHEV conversion company were:a) The time needed for the students to develop the breadth and depth of expertise needed to dothe initial design calculations, material procurement and certification, and construction of the Page 15.1290.3vehicle conversion. b) The control package and battery assembly for the conversion wouldrequire quite some time for the students to acquire the required in-depth knowledge to

rubrics was to rate theperformance of each student to the criteria predefined in the rubric. It would have been beneficialto record the number of students being assessed in the tables in Appendices B, C, and D. Thesample size may impact interpretation of results. For example, in Appendix D, there weresignificantly fewer students in the summer than in fall and spring semesters.Performance levels may be divided into three to six point scales and given labels such as basic-proficient-advanced. In this paper, PIs were assessed on a scale of 1-4. Others have effectivelyassessed PIs on a scale of 1-3, further simplifying the assessment process [6]. Having three levelsof performance allows the instructor to easily map the grades to rubrics levels

Students have a clearunderstanding of the courses they need to complete at PIT and courses they can complete inaddition to their associates degree that will help them advance to junior level upon transferringto the University. If the students come to Drexel University as full-time students, they can alsotake advantage of one six-month co-op cycle before graduation. This partnership format does notrequire additional resources, since students are coming to Drexel and using the already existingstate-of-the-art laboratories. In addition, the AET faculty

Teaching the basics in theelectronics course provides familiarity with the concept that potentially improves performance ofthe students in advanced courses.The survey course already includes a lab activity using a magnetic starter, and a variable speedmotor drive.

It was identified that all but one of the WCM 603 Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs) were being covered in other courses.

Measuring the difference is the base of triangulation methods. This can be seen in Figure 1. InFig. 1(a), a surface is illuminated by a narrow laser beam, and the linear sensor captures the reflection from thatsurface. In Fig. 1(b), a laser line, can also be called as laser sheet, is generated by the cylindrical lens and projectedto the surface. In general, the needed inspections and measurements can be classified into alignment offsets inassemblies, gaps in assemblies, diameter changes, bumps, cracks and angle between surfaces. Figure 1
