A Minor inGeneral Engineering was developed at Binghamton University. This minor was first available inthe 2008-09 academic year. The description of the minor states this minor “enables students whoare majoring in non-engineering fields to gain an introduction to the

the instructor has the right to overrule thestudents’ score in case of a disagreement (which has never occurred). This method helps keep Page 14.1132.10the instructor in tune with the expectations of the class, but also helps capture those situations inwhich the material was not properly tuned for the audience.Since 2005, 63% of students have received an A on the project, 31% a B and 6% a C. Nostudent achieved less than a ‘C’ on this assignment, which comprises 20-25% of the final gradein the course. The mean score was a 91% with a standard deviation of 5.3%. These numbers,which remain more or less consistent across all of the class years

T&E curriculum onto Standards for TechnologicalLiteracy (STL) for the two specialization groups of (a) math or science and (b) technology.Additionally, an analysis of grades for the core and upper level T&E courses indicates that,compared head-to-head in the exact same classes, the grades earned by MST majors areconsistently equal to, or more often, higher then the Technology/Pre-engineering students.This result also held true for the more hands-on lab courses. So, MST majors are not simply“surviving” the T&E courses but are performing quite well, even compared against aTechnology/Pre-engineering population that consistently performs well above average on thenational PraxisTM technology education exam.

determined byan alpha of 0.05 or less; (less than 5% chance of random selection providing results). The nature of the data collected for this evaluation lent itself to analysis by the useof a General Linear Model (GLM). The method of analysis for the data collected fromthis project was an Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The ANOVA, both factorial and one-way, used the General Linear Model (GLM).The GLM was selected because the data are arranged in categories. The method isessentially a form of regression, evaluating the distance from an “expected mean”,however the expected mean was not based upon the slope of a “y = mx+b” sort of line.Instead of determining the “expected value” of y from the x-position, the expected valueof y is

The main objectives of the course were to: (a) promote awareness oftechnological development, and (b) provide a rudimentary understanding of the social, political,economic, and cultural impact.The course content explores innovations and inventions associated with ancient as well as retrotechnologies in the fields of agriculture, weapons, time measurement, industrialization,transportation, communication, and the environment (Loendorf7, 2004). These encompass everyaspect of engineering and engineering technology including mechanical, electrical, industrial,civil, and environmental. By
