Branding of Engineering Technology Programs Arizona State University at the Polytechnic campus Mesa, ArizonaAbstract The paper focuses on pros and cons related to the branding of EngineeringTechnology (ET) Programs. Two frequent topics among leaders of ET programsare how to educate others (prospective students, prospective employers of ETgraduates, and the community) about what engineering technology is all aboutand how to differentiate between engineering technology programs and traditionalengineering programs. Engineering Technology faculty and students face thesechallenges on a regular basis. This paper seeks to address the question can thispaper initiate a dialogue among the

It is a tedious process that many institutions simply avoid.Since there are few awards and few possibilities for success additional institutions arediscouraged and simply don’t apply. With this in mind the faculty of the Engineering & DesignDepartment wasn’t discouraged and actually considered their chances quite good.Once again an investigation was undertaken seeking a match between the Department’s needsand the prospect for support. The search revealed a number of potential partners meeting bothcriteria. Then the specifics of the proposal had to be established. Through planning sessions allof the details were discussed and finalized. Proposals were then drafted, revised, and lastlysubmitted. Throughout

Points were assigned to each priority vote,with a ‘L’ earning one point, a ‘M’ earning two points and a ‘H’ earning three points. The ratingreflects the importance of an automotive concentration topic treatment in the minds of theindustry representatives (all engineers). It is observed that

Faculty of engineering and technologyprograms have an opportunity to steer their own destiny if administrators will create supportiveenvironments.Engineering and technology faculty should remain open-minded about the possibilities of afuture technology worker surplus in their fields. Administrators of these programs should becognizant of the job security concerns of their faculty should engineering and technologyprograms be eliminated.

the socially responsible engineering modelas a profession [5]. Toba said engineering needed new minds that would combine science andhuman values to solve problems that technology might cause. Toba also stated that engineeringwas viewed negatively as a profession by the young people of the day and to change thisperception, engineering needed to focus on social issues. In one of her presentations at ASEEconference and ECEDHA meeting, Leah H. Jamieson, past president of IEEE, presented dataabout the public perceptions of engineering which showed that engineering is viewed as aprofession that creates economic growth but is not sensitive to social, environmental, andquality of life issues. While the data did not show a negative public perception
