The courses are divided into three five-week modules thatare distributed among the various departments within the college. The Engineering Technologydepartment is responsible for two of the five week modules. One module is comprised of all theengineering technology curriculums; civil, electrical and mechanical, and the other module isstrictly a civil engineering technology project.The civil engineering technology project is focused on the construction industry. Students areintroduced to Civil Engineering as a discipline area, and then to the construction industry.Students are then taught how to estimate and schedule a simple bridge project using K’NEXBridge

As such, it tends to be a course with high “drop-out”rates and also high failure rates for those that do complete it. Success in this course is paramountto a student’s progress into subsequent electrical courses such as AC Electricity and DigitalElectronics – both taken by all of our engineering technology students. Experience has shownthat most students who drop DC Electricity the first time they take it, do not continue on in theengineering technology program, but change

Studentsare responsible for written project specifications, planning and milestone identification,implementation of the work, an oral presentation, and a final written report.Because these projects are so comprehensive, they provide an opportunity for faculty to assess awide range of student learning that is directly related to program outcomes. For this reason, METfaculty developed a rubric for assessing capstone projects, as shown on the following page
